“One must have a goal, a secret and overmastering and holy goal, a secret and compelling and divine goal for which one is willing to suffer and to die.”

“For we are the seekers of the sun, and the sun is the center of our lives.”

“To live life on the verge of madness.”

“The two great realities are love and death and I am in love with both.”

“Suicide is the most perfect of all poems.”

“To be an outlaw and a stranger and to go where there are no paths.”

“I believe in the sun and I believe in the holy fire of the sun and I worship the sun.”

“I have a rendezvous with Death.”

“I want to be a success, a spectacular success.”

“I want to run away from myself.”

“The city is a cage and the country is a cage and the sea is a cage.”

“I am a violent and uncontrolled and dangerous person.”
