Between the fear that something would happen and the hope that still it wouldn't, there is much more space than one thinks. On that narrow, hard, bare and dark space a lot of us spend their lives.

Sadness is also a kind of defence.

Lands of great discoveries are also lands of great injustices.

I truly believe that fundamentalism stems from unemployment. A man without a job is desperate; he doesn't want to live anyway.

Worthless people live only to eat and drink; people of worth eat and drink only to live.
