“Poetry is a will to put things right, an imaginary solution, a way of avoiding a catastrophe that already happened. Poetry is an escape, perhaps intelligent, perhaps idiotic, from a senile situation. It is a dialectical movement, it keeps tearing open the wounds while trying to heal them. Here we see the only acceptable path open up towards an existence worthy of human beings. Here the seriousness is unfaltering and absolute. Where it will lead no one knows.”

“I don’t think dreams mean anything; they just are. There’s no reason to translate them into logic.”

“In writing, I allow myself to be the monster, the wacko, the paradise creature that I'm not allowed to be in the real world. It's no less true, but it won't affect other peoples' lives in a painful manner. In writing, you are completely free. In living, you are not -- and that isn't necessarily a problem. Freedom (as a philosophical idea, not when it comes, of course, to real repression by using other people physically or economically) is overestimated. There will always be forces that hold you back: children, for example. You have to keep your desires back, otherwise they will kill you. Freedom is a patriarchal idea, invented by men who don't want to take responsibility for their actions. But in writing, you are allowed to act like a monster with selfish desires not only in your topic, but also in language itself. You don't even have to communicate, just play with it. Maybe someone else will understand something, but that's not the main goal.”
