“In some lost fold of the past, we wanted to be lions and we’re no more than castrated cats”

I kept having dreams all night. I thought they were touching me with their fingers. But dreams don’t have fingers, they have fists, so it must have been scorpions.

As time goes by, as time goes by, the whip-crack of the years, the precipice of illusions, the ravine that swallows up all human endeavour except the struggle to survive.

I decided to tell the truth even if it meant being pointed at.

Literature + Illness = Illness.

The sky, at sunset, looked like a carnivorous flower.

I’ll tell you, my friends: it’s all in the nerves. The nerves that tense and relax as you approach the edges of companionship and love. The razor-sharp edges of companionship and love.

One should read Borges more.

If I were to say what I really think I would be arrested or shut away in a lunatic asylum. Come on, I am sure that it would be the same for everyone.

For a moment the two of them looked at each other, wordless, as if they were asleep and their dreams had converged on common ground, a place where sound was alien.

Literature is the product of a strange rain of blood, sweat, semen, and tears.

When I was done traveling, I returned convinced of one thing: we’re nothing.

If you’re going to say what you want to say, you’re going to hear what you don’t want to hear.

The American mirror, said the voice, the sad American mirror of wealth and poverty and constant useless metamorphosis, the mirror that sails and whose sails are pain.

Nothing happened today. And if anything did, I’d rather not talk about it, because I didn’t understand it.

You run risks. That’s the plain truth. You run risks and, even in the most unlikely places, you are subject to destiny’s whims.

When people read his books they have an uncontrollable desire to hang the author in the town square. I can’t think of a higher honor for a writer.

My goal is to make everyone and anyone a Kevin Hart fan.

America gains most when individuals have great freedom to pursue personal goals without undue government interference.

It’s been our goal as a program to always give our players the best opportunity to be successful, whether it’s personally, academically, or athletically.

I set some goals for myself. I really want to run through this whole heavyweight division.

If you’re bored with life – you don’t get up every morning with a burning desire to do things – you don’t have enough goals.

On this team, we’re all united in a common goal: to keep my job.

When you invest your time, you make a goal and a decision of something that you want to accomplish.

I lived the true American dream, because I was able to pursue what I set as my goals at a very young age.
