“Delay is the deadliest form of denial.”

“Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.”

“Life, as it is called, is for most of us one long postponement.”

“Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted, the indifference of those who should have known better, the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most, that has made it possible for evil to triumph.”

“Tear thyself from delay.”

“To fall in love is to create a religion that has a fallible god.”

“The flattery of posterity is not worth much more than contemporary flattery, which is worth nothing.”

“Every writer ''creates'' his own precursors. His work modifies our conception of the past, as it will modify the future.”

“I cannot walk through the suburbs in the solitude of the night without thinking that the night pleases us because it suppresses idle details, just as our memory does.”

“Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that a single book is not. A book is not an isolated entity: it is a narration, an axis of innumerable narrations. One literature differs from another, either before or after it, not so much because of the text as for the manner in which it is read.”

“Life itself is a quotation.”
