• In History, stagnant waters, whether they be the stagnant waters of custom or those of despotism, harbour no life; life is dependent on the ripples created by a few eccentric individuals. In homage to that life & vitality, the community has to brave certain perils and must countenance a measure of heresy. One must live dangerously if one wants to live at all.

• Lo más duro de ser un marginado no es el amor que no recibes. Es el amor que anhelas dar y que nadie quiere. Después de un tiempo, se acumula en tu sistema como agua estancada y se vuelve tóxica, envenenando tu espíritu. Cuando esto sucede, no tienes muchas opciones disponibles. Puedes convertirte en un solitario amargado que va por la vida cabreado con el mundo; puedes enconarte de rabia hasta que un día asesines a tus compañeros. O puedes encontrar otra salida para tu amor, donde será apreciado y tal vez incluso correspondido.

• I go to bed, and I wait for sleep as a man might wait for the executioner. I wait for its coming with dread, and my heart beats and my legs tremble, while my whole body shivers beneath the warmth of the bedclothes, until the moment when I suddenly fall asleep, as a man throws himself into a pool of stagnant water in order to drown. I do not feel this perfidious sleep coming over me as I used to, but a sleep which is close to me and watching me, which is going to seize me by the head, to close my eyes and annihilate me.
