Man was very fortunate to have invented the book. Without it, the past would completely vanish, and we would be left with nothing, we would be naked on earth.

The notion that anything can be invented wholly and that these invented things are classified as 'fiction' and that other writing, presumably not made up, is called 'nonfiction' strikes me as a very arbitrary separation of things.

There is no real beauty without some slight imperfection.

I'm very fortunate to have gotten past the cancer problem.

Without the oceans there would be no life on Earth.

I'm naked in the dark...there's nothing...nothing...
