"Nature is the guardian of Africa. While the sun lights the African sky in day time, the moon begs the world to help her lighting Africa in the night."


"My darling, what a cat they have! Something perfectly stupendous. Siamese, in colour dark beige, or taupe, with chocolate paws and the tail the same. Moreover, his tail is comparatively short, so his croup has something of a little dog, or rather, a kangaroo, and that's its colour, too. And that special silkiness of short fur, and some very tender white tints on its folds, and wonderful clear-blue eyes, turning transparently green towards evening, and a pensive tenderness of its walk, a sort of heavenly circumspection of movement. An amazing, sacred animal, and so quiet " it's unclear what he is looking at with those eyes filled to the brim with sapphire water."


"You don't need to be the tide to rise and fall, you don't have to be a wave to touch the shore; just be a little sand-grain and feel them all."


"Nature cannot be commanded except by being obeyed."

"People keep asking what I do for a living and I keep saying that I don't believe in making a living. That it's a concept that has been twisted. I tell them I believe in making a life and money is a distracting object if there's anything left at the end of the day and I just want to go on well. Make it through the day. So I smile and raise my glass and they laugh and take my hand, saying here's to the youth, pointing at me. And I might just be youngand naivefor I still believe in the freedom of choiceof how to spend your life.So they toast to the youth, who still think she's free, and that's all fine by me."

"Maybe I can learn to live in a way that makes it worth writing about, and maybe I can actually become something more than this empty shell."

"So now it's this thing I do.I go away, ever so often, by myself, for myself,to new places with foreign streets I haven't walked yet,and there I wander, up and down, watching people going places I don't knowand it always hits me that they're never alone,always with someone,and I wonder how they would spend a day all on their own in a foreign city with nothing to do and no one to see,and I wonder if they'd be happy.Just simply being free,like I am trying to be.Happy.Just simply being me."

"It's January and I'm kicking snow off the ground. I just threw out the flower you made me promise to water, handle with care, because I was too careless, you said. Careless with things and people, around me and behindand I remember being still for just a second or two, thinking that it's so much easier to leave and start anew, than take care of what's already here."

"There comes a time for healingno matter how broken you are right now;no matter how heavy your heart is right now.There comes a time when you will go outsideand let the sun shine on your faceand let the wind touch your hairand you will not be tired by just simply being awake.There comes a time when you will be happy to be alive againand that day you will appreciate your own beingbecause now you know the other side.Now you know the opposite.Now you know what it's like to not be sure if you really are; whoyou really are;if you simply are, anymore.And that daywill be the beginning of everything."

"I used to be fine in my lonelinessbut somethingor someonesnapped me out of itand showed me company. What it's like to feel at home,and so the going on by myself part wasn't as easy anymore.Seasons happened and things got colder and harder and suddenly I found myself smoking circles in the airby myself in the snowand I was not okay."
