“I increasingly feel that my writing creates me...I am the invention of my own words~”

“When I am not desperate, I am worthless.”

“One shouldn't be afraid of the humans. Well, I am not afraid of the humans, but of what is inhuman in them.”

“To be a man, to have been born without knowing it or wanting it, to be thrown into the ocean of existence, to be obliged to swim, to exist; to have an identity; to resist the pressure and shocks from the outside and the unforeseen and unforeseeable acts - one's own and those of others - which so often exceed one's capacities? And what is more, to endure one's own thoughts about all this: in a word, to be human.”

“Tebe boli moja patnja i daljina, a mene tvoja neizvjesnost, dok sjediš kraj male svjetiljke; veže nas krv i bol i svaki me udarac boli dvostruko, jer pada i po tvom srcu.”

“I kad oni koji me tlače, truju i jedu, i koji za drugi život i ne znaju, nalaze u sebi snage, izdržljivosti i veštine za borbu, zašto da je ne nađem ja koji sam gledao i koji ću opet videti sjaj drugog, lepšeg života za koji nijedna žrtva nije prevelika i nijedna cena previsoka?”
