Blaise CENDRARS :: Paris Review interview (1966) . ["Language is a thing that seduced me. Language is a thing that perverted me. Language is a thing that formed me. Language is a thing that deformed me. That's why I am a poet."] - http://www.theparisreview.org/intervi...
"A writer should never install himself before a panorama, however grandiose it may be. Like Saint Jerome, a writer should work in his cell. Turn the back. Writing is a view of the spirit. “The world is my representation.” Humanity lives in its fiction. This is why a conqueror always wants to transform the face of the world into his image. Today, I even veil the mirrors."

« Écrire est une vue de l'esprit. C'est un travail ingrat qui mène à la solitude. » --Blaise Cendrars, L'Homme foudroyé, Le Vieux port IV (1945)
