“You have to like the animals that teach us how to die because we’re all going to die the same death, no one will be spared, animals tell us there’s no way out, for them like for us, we’re all corpses in the end. They also teach us how to live, in excess, since beasts are man’s fever: we will suffer just like them, we’re large cuts of raw beef, our bodies escape us, slip between our fingers, slip out of our awareness.”

“Snakes, flies, and moles don’t have eyelashes and so we don’t love them, we don’t go near them, we don’t pet them.”

“People rarely know how to die but animals do, it suffices to observe them and mirror what they do. They find a spot, a little corner, and they wait discreetly, they control their breathing, count down the minutes, sometimes the hours, try not to be a bother, not to attract much notice, they don’t make a sound. Animals are exemplary when it comes to dying but they don’t know that.”
