“What is great about man is that he is a bridge, not an end: what can be loved about man is that he is a going-over and a going-under.

I love those who do not know how to live except as downgoers, for they are going over.

[...]

I love all those who are like heavy raindrops falling individually from the dark cloud that hang over man: they herald the coming of the lightning and perish as heralds.”
