And this is the simple truth - that to live is to feel oneself lost. He who accepts it has already begun to find himself, to be on firm ground. Instinctively, as do the shipwrecked, he will look around for something to which to cling, and that tragic, ruthless glance, absolutely sincere, because it is a question of his salvation, will cause him to bring order into the chaos of his life. These are the only genuine ideas; the ideas of the shipwrecked. All the rest is rhetoric, posturing, farce.
Life
has its own hidden forces which you can only discover by
living.
Most
men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past
it.
The
biggest danger, that of losing oneself, can pass off in the world
as quietly as if it were nothing; every other loss, an arm, a leg,
five dollars, a wife, etc. is bound to be noticed
I
stick my finger into existence.. it smells of nothing.
Where am I? Who am I? What is this thing called the world?
What does this word mean?
Where am I? Who am I? What is this thing called the world?
What does this word mean?
The
most common form of despair is not being who you are.
There
are many people who reach their conclusions about life like
schoolboys: they cheat their master by copying the answer out of a
book without having worked the sum out for themselves.
When
you label me, you negate me.
To
dare is to lose your footing temporarily. To not dare is to lose
your life.
