' Writing and love are part of the same tension, the same joy, the same loss. I am afraid of writing as I am afraid of loving. Love opens the way to writing, writing comes after love, becomes part of it or undoes it. Love does not exist on its own just as there is no writing without the other. Without desire, I cannot write. I am not innocent. I have always fallen for beauty. I write to express this rapture. This book is the story of the layers of love of which I am made up. '
