- Nov 07, 2020
I don't do what I do willingly, but I have to do it.
- Men

- Nov 07, 2020
I seek to cast an incorruptible gaze on women, especially where they are the accomplices of men.
- Limited
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My writings are limited to depicting analytically, but also polemically, the horrors of reality. Redemption is the speciality of other authors, male and female.
- Literature
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I write, I have always tried to be on the side of the weak. The side of the powerful is not literature's side.
- Football Match
- |

- Value
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A woman who becomes famous through her work reduces her erotic value. A woman is permitted to chat or babble, but speaking in public with authority is still the greatest transgression.
- Beauty
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I describe the relationship between man and woman as a Hegelian relationship between master and slave. As long as men are able to increase their sexual value through work, fame or wealth, while women are only powerful through their body, beauty and youth, nothing will change.
