“ I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world.”
“ I don’t believe in God.” “ It’s not my fault.” “ Mother died today.” “ I had only a little time left and I didn’t want to waste it on God.” “ Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday, I don’t know.” “ I had lived my life one way and I could just as well have lived it another.” “ There is no greater torment for a man than that of being alive.” “ I know very well that I am not a man of action.” “ I don't care about anything.” “ I had only to wish that there be no more.” |
