"...Accordingly, I have hardly been able to experience anything which one could call real happiness; or to take as vital an interest in human affairs as can one who still retains the hallucination of a "great purpose" in the general plan of terrestrial life. ...
However, I have never permitted these circumstances to react upon my daily life; for it is obvious that although I have "nothing to live for", I certainly have just as much as any other of the insignificant bacteria called human beings.
I have thus been content to observe the phenomena about me with something like objective interest, and to feel a certain tranquillity which comes from perfect acceptance of my place as an inconsequential atom.
In ceasing to care about most things, I have likewise ceased to suffer in many ways."

ΥΓ 1. Όλα για όλα για τα πολυδιαφημισμένα ονειρά μου. Τίποτα δεν χάνεται, τίποτα.
ΥΓ 2. Η Περσεφόνη του Κάτω Κόσμου, το Σάββατο στο Μοναστηράκι, intro στους Paradise Lost.
