Poem Without a Hero (excerpt)
“As the future ripens in the past,
so the past rots in the future —
a terrible festival of dead leaves.”

“One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. ”

One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. Death should be chosen freely, -- death at the right time, faced clearly and joyfully and embraced while one is surrounded by one's children and other witnesses. It should be affected in such a way that a proper farewell is still possible, that he who is about to take leave of us is still himself, and really capable not only of valuing what he has achieved and willed in life, but also of summing-up the value of life itself.
Quote of the day
People who live in society have learned how to see themselves in mirrors as they appear to their friends. I have no friends. Is that why my flesh is so naked?
–Jean Paul Satre
The goal of all life is death
