1 " I think I have the right to be able to see myself differently from how others see me, to see myself however I want and not to be forced to be this person other people have decided I am. "
― Enrique Vila-Matas , Never Any End to Paris
2 " I don't like ferocious irony but rather the kind that vacillates between disappointment and hope. Okay? "
3 " El pasado, decía Proust, no sólo es fugaz, es que no se mueve de sitio. Con París pasa lo mismo, jamás ha salido de viaje. Y encima es interminable, no se acaba nunca. "
4 " I was full of doubts, of course, not a particularly bad way to be, but I didn’t know that. Doubting so much made me suffer, but I could have saved myself the anxiety and simply doubted, without any problem. I was unaware that to doubt is to write. Marguerite Duras would say so in 1995, toward the end of her days: “I can say what I like, but I shall never know why people write and how it is people don’t write. In life, there comes a time, and I think it is total, that we cannot escape, where we doubt everything: that doubt is writing. "
5 " Pe celălalt taler al balanței stă Parisul. Poate pentru că n-are niciodată sfârșit. Și, în plus, e minunat; el face față la tot, tuturor temeiurilor găsite de om pentru a fi nefericit... De ce eram, Doamne, disperat la Paris? Nici că puteam fi mai idiot." - Enrique Vila-Matas, "Parisul nu are sfârșit "
6 " ("Mis on keeleregister?" küsis Vila-Matas) "Tegutse, selle asemel, et pärida." See viimane viis mind ilmselgelt segadusse, mul oli tahtmine teada saada, mida ta sellega mõtles. "Sa küsid liiga palju küsimusi, kui tegelikult peaksid tegutsema, praegusel juhul lihtsalt kirjutama hakkama. Kui sa kirjutad ega esita nii palju küsimusi, seisadki silmitsi keeleregistriga."..."Vahetasin jututeemat. Tahtsin välja selgitada, mispärast tema, kes ta oli ilmselgelt kirjanik, ei olnud juba aastaid kirjutanud. Küsisin temalt järsku, missuguses registris tema kirjutaks, kui peaks kirjutama. Ta ei vastanud. Käisin peale, ja sama lugu, ei mingit vastust. Ainult naeratus, täiuslik naeratus. Tema register, kõige elegantsem, mida olen elus näinud, oli naeru ja vaikuse lähisugulane."lk 44, "Pariisile ei tule iial lõppu", Enrique Vila-Matas "
