“Don’t take literary texts so seriously, they are not the inspired Bible. You never know what the writer might think to remember! - A good writer is always a liar in the most dazzling sense of the word. Besides, I am one of those people who love their present, not their past. Both my childhood and youth were difficult. And when all this trembling stuff was left in the past, I took a deep breath and realized that I owed nothing to myself - to my memories, childhood affections, childhood dreams.”
