A person shows himself for an instant as in a photograph but clearer and in the background something which is bigger than his shadow.

In the middle of life, death comes to take your measurements. The visit is forgotten and life goes on. But the suit is being sewn on the sly.

It is still beautiful to hear the heart beat but often the shadow seems more real than the body.

The airy sky has taken its place leaning against the wall. It is like a prayer to what is empty And what is empty turns its face to us and whispers: 'I am not empty, I am open'.

I am carried in my shadow like a violin in its black case

I am still the place where creation does some work on itself.

It's always so early in here, before the crossroads, before the irrevocable choices. Thank you for this life! Still I miss the alternatives. The sketches, all of them, want to become real.

If a great opportunity opens itself up, I would love to be involved... or star in a movie.

Of all parties I now see only one party- The Anarchist- which respects human life, and loudly insists upon the abolition of capital punishment, prison torture and punishment of man by man altogether.

I have always tried to move on from disappointments as fast as I can.
