The call of death is a call of love. Death can be sweet if we answer it in the affirmative, if we accept it as one of the great eternal forms of life and transformation. What constitutes a real, live human being is more of a mystery than ever these days, and men - each one of whom is a valuable, unique experiment on the part of nature - are shot down wholesale. What could I say to you that would be of value, except that perhaps you seek too much, that as a result of your seeking you cannot find. When dealing with the insane, the best method is to pretend to be sane. Whenever books are burned, sooner or later men also are burned. Words do not express thoughts very well. They always become a little different immediately after they are expressed, a little distorted, a little foolish. If I know what love is, it is because of you. |
