I'm currently working on a book that will be published by the Kindai Yumei Company. I haven't chosen a title yet, but the book will be about Godzilla-do, which really isn't all that different from some aspects of kendo and judo.

About Le Corbusier: Well, now that he's finished one building, he'll go write four books about it.

The future author is one who discovers that language, the exploration and manipulation of the resources of language, will serve him in winning through to his way.

A writer, a brilliant writer, wants to write the real book about me. He wants to call it The Users—the people who have used me.

Should he ever write an autobiography, he'd call it The Life and Death of a Male Body.

"I want to write a novel about Silence," he said; “the things people don’t say.

Ooh, look at me, I’m Dave, I’m writing a book! With all my thoughts in it. La la la!

It is just thinkable that books may some day be written by machinery....

I am planning on an autobiography. People should know something about me

I want to do something splendid. Something heroic or wonderful that won’t be forgotten after I’m dead. I think I shall write books.

Why not admit that my dissatisfaction reveals an excessive ambition, perhaps a megalomaniac delirium? For the writer who wants to annul himself in order to give voice to what is outside him, two paths open: either write a book that could be the unique book, that exhausts the whole in its pages; or write all books, to pursue the whole through its partial images. The unique book, which contains the whole, could only be the sacred text, the total world revealed. But I do not believe totality can be contained in language; my problem is what remains outside, the unwritten, the unwritable. The only way left me is that writing of all books, writing the books of all possible authors.

If I think I must write one book, all the problems of how this book should be and how it should not be block me and keep me from going forward. If, on the contrary, I think that I am writing a whole library, I feel suddenly lightened: I know that whatever I write will be integrated, contradicted, balanced, amplified, buried by the hundreds of volumes that remain for me to write.

This book is for Johnny, who suggested it

Next time you go to a talk by me, because I'm sure I'll be back with one of my future books. Maybe the one I hope to have out next year, which is a whole new tax system that's simple and... you can't cheat under my system without committing a crime. Bring a young person.

If I will write a book, I will write it triumphantly
