And then I feel very protective of them, because even though I think I have managed to get through the process relatively sanely, I have my scars, and I hope to be in some ways a member of their family that's out there protecting them.

• The power of our Muse lies in her meaninglessness. Even the style can turn one into a slave if one does not run away from it, and then one is doomed to repeat oneself.

It will express itself less in the fear of doing the same thing over again than in the desire not to go where one has already been.

  Gueorgui Pinkhassov
