I think it is possible that we really live off the dead.

I dare not think what we would be without them.

Goethe configured his life as landscape. Now he is a part of the earth, but with birds flying above.

1976

Each must grapple with death anew.

There are no rules that are handed down.

This B. who pretends we can discipline death through suicide. He won’t kill himself before he has convinced everyone that death is the best thing of all.

There are too many. We die from the massive weight of the dead.

He forgot to die, that’s how satisfied he was with himself. However, he made sure that others didn’t forget to.

To hope that you will be the last man alive, that’s the deadly sin.

He is not old, but he still hates death, thus he will never be old, for he will always hate it.
