For an occurrence to become an adventure, it is necessary and sufficient for one to recount it.

What do I care about Jupiter? Justice is a human issue, and I do not need a god to teach it to me.

If literature isn't everything, it's not worth a single hour of someone's trouble.

As far as men go, it is not what they are that interests me, but what they can become.

I like structuring verses, choruses, but sometimes the verses might be a tango and the choruses might be death metal.

I think mortality makes you live a fuller existence. When I was a kid I was scared of death, and maybe that's what made me desperate to get the most out of life.

My characters who come back from death are worse for wear. In some ways, they're not even the same characters anymore. The body may be moving, but some aspect of the spirit is changed or transformed, and they've lost something.

For the sake of goodness and love, man shall let death have no sovereignty over his thoughts.
