"I can always live by my pen."

"I have learnt how to live, how to be in the world and of the world, and not just to stand aside and watch."

"I may not always be offered work, but I'll always have my family."

"True friends are families which you can select."

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living."

"Remember me and smile, for it's better to forget than to remember me and cry."
