    So, this is where people come in order to live, I would have rather thought: to die.
  • Lisbeth Dina Jensenhas quoted6 years ago
    Is it possible, this nothing thinks, that one has not yet seen, recognized, and said anything real and important? Is it possible that one has had thousands of years of time to look, reflect, and write down, and that one has let the millennia pass away like a school recess in which one eats one’s sandwich and an apple?
    Yes, it is possible.
    Is it possible that in spite of inventions and progress, in spite of culture, religion, and worldly wisdom, that one has remained on the surface of life? Is it possible that one has even covered this surface, which would at least have been something, with an incredibly dull slipcover, so that it looks like living-room furniture during the summer vacation?
    Yes, it is possible.
