" Ja dla nikogo nie piszę rozumiesz ja piszę dla siebie samego. Piszę pamiętnik własnej duszy, pamięcią nie zdołałbym ogarnąć tego ogromu, co w sobie przeżywam, więc piszę... Zanim zdechnę, raz to sobie wszystko przeczytam, by choć odrobinę poznać mechanizm mej duszy, prawa, jakiemi się rządzi i którym ulega... Zresztą głupstwo. Prędzejbym się w ziemię zagrzebał ze wstydu, zanimbym tak haniebnie moją duszę miał spaskudzić, i to, com napisał, publiczności na żer rzucił... Raz, raz jeden wydałem małą książczynę wtedy się kochałem, rozumiesz a kobiety, jak ci wiadomo, strasznie lecą na sławę; przez dwa miesiące nie wychodziłem potem na miasto, by nie ujrzeć mego nazwiska zhańbionego i sprostytuowanego za witryną okna księgarskiego."
