There Is An Incompatibility Between Literary Creation

In My Case, Literature Is A Kind Of Revenge. It's Something That Gives Me What Real Life Can't Give Me - All The Adventures, All The Suffering. All The Experiences I Can Only Live In The Imagination, Literature Completes.

Nothing Better Protects A Human Being Against The Stupidity Of Prejudice, Racism, Religious Or Political Sectarianism, And Exclusivist Nationalism Than This Truth That Invariably Appears In Great Literature: That Men And Women Of All Nations And Places Are Essentially Equal, And Only Injustice Sows Among Them Discrimination, Fear, And Exploitation.

The Secret To Happiness, At Least To Peace Of Mind, Is Knowing How To Separate Sex From Love. And, If Possible, Eliminating Romantic Love From Your Life, Which Is The Love That Makes You Suffer. That Way, I Assure You, You Live With Greater Tranquility And Enjoy Things More.

Eroticism Has Its Own Moral Justification Because It Says That Pleasure Is Enough For Me; It Is A Statement Of The Individual's Sovereignty.

Death Isn't Enough. It Doesn't Remove The Stain. But A Slap, A Whiplash, Square On The Face, Does. Because A Man's Face Is As Sacred As His Mother Or His Wife.
