“I think I am in my last days, but it doesn't really matter because I have had such a beautiful life.Â I have lived through many wars and have lost everything many times - including my husband, my mother and my beloved son.Â Yet, life is beautiful, and I have so much to learn and enjoy.Â I have no space nor time for pessimism and hate.Â Life is beautiful, love is beautiful, nature and music are beautiful.Â Everything we experience is a gift, a present we should cherish and pass on to those we love.”

“However, as words become particularized, and as men begin - in however small a way - to use them in personal, arbitrary ways, so their transformation into art begins. It was words of this kind that, descending on me like a swarm of winged insects, seized on my individuality and sought to shut me up within it. Nevertheless, despite the enemy's depredations upon my person, I turned their universality - at once a weapon and a weakness - back on them, and to some extent succeeded in using words to universalize to my own individuality.”
