Before I got mixed up in the bureaucratic blender I derived nine beliefs I still live by:
:.. There are no secrets to be found in literature
:.. A writer has no reason for writing
:.. The power and integrity of art is due to its principles
:.. Words are the oldest living beings
:.. The true critic is she who manages to get Lazarus out
:.. A text left to itself is like the note found among Nietzsche’s papers: “I forgot my umbrella”
:.. You can fake profundity but not the talent for writing
:.. Style is knowledge
:.. There is no use for texts whose reception is decided beforehand
Try for yourself:
As I was going up the stair I met a man who wasn’t there. He wasn’t there again today. I wish, I wish he’d stay away.
