"Madame, all stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is no true-story teller who would keep that from you."

"The first and final thing you have to do in this world is to last it and not be smashed by it."

"All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer."

"The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them."

"When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen."

"I've tried to reduce profanity but I reduced so much profanity when writing the book that I'm afraid not much could come out. Perhaps we will have to consider it simply as a profane book and hope that the next book will be less profane or perhaps more sacred."

"If two people love each other there can be no happy end to it."

"I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?"

"I've seen you, beauty, and you belong to me now, whoever you are waiting for and if I never see you again, I thought. You belong to me and all Paris belongs to me and I belong to this notebook and this pencil."

"I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?"

"There is no rule on how to write. Sometimes it comes easily and perfectly; sometimes it's like drilling rock and then blasting it out with charges."
