le temps s'est arrêté. Je suis tombé dans cet espace bien-aimé dans lequel les écrivains tombent, la raison pour laquelle la plupart écrivent, car c'est mieux que les drogues ou l'alcool ... un high sans gueule de bois, une liaison sans douleur.

Si nous étalons notre richesse, nous nous faisons des ennemis de personnes qui n'ont que leur force intérieure pour les faire passer. Et ce sont les gens que je veux de mon côté.
