Look, I don't want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you're alive you've got to flap your arms and legs, you've got to jump around a lot, for life is the very opposite of death, and therefore you must at very least think noisy and colorfully, or you're not alive.

The fear of life is the favorite disease of the 20th century. People living deeply have no fear of death. He who has a why to live can bear almost any how. Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets. The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line. I have a simple philosophy: Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches. Literature is mostly about having sex and not much about having children. Life is the other way round. Life is something to do when you can't get to sleep. |
