Silence before being born, silence after death: life is nothing but noise between two unfathomable silences.

You can't find someone who doesn't want to be found.

Write what should not be forgotten.

The library is inhabited by spirits that come out of the pages at night.

Writing is a calling, not a choice.

We only have what we give.

Nothing changes; we humans repeat the same sins over and over, eternally.

Of all fragrances, the sweetest is that of virtue.
