“أريد أن أعيش في حياتي المقبلة "رجوعاً إلى الخلف" . حيث تبدأ ميتاً ، فتزيح الموت من الطريق ، ثم تستيقظ في دار للمسنين وتشعر أنك تصبح أفضل كل يوم. ثم يطردونك من دار المسنين لكونك قد أصبحت في صحة تامة ، فتذهب لجمع راتبك التقاعدي ،ومن ثم عند بدء العمل ، يهدونك ساعة ذهبية ويقيمون لك حفلة في اليوم الأول . تستمر في العمل لمدة أربعين عاما حتى تصبح شابا بما يكفي لتتمتع بتقاعدك . تذهب إلى الحفلات ، وتشرب الخمر ، وتصير - على وجه العموم - منحلاً ، ثم تصير على استعداد للإلتحاق بالمدارس الثانوية. ثم تنتقل إلى المدرسة الابتدائية ،ثم تصبح طفلا ، تلعب. الآن لا يوجد لديك مسؤوليات ، وتصبح طفلا رضيعاً إلى أن تأتي لحظة ولادتك ، وبعد ذلك تقضي آخر تسعة أشهر من حياتك عائماً في ظروف شبيهة بالمنتجعات الفاخرة ، مستفيداً من التدفئة المركزية وخدمة الغرف ،ويقل حجمك أرباعاً كل يوم ومن ثم ............
فوالاااااااا تنتهي حياتك كهزة جماع”
― Woody Allen

“My task which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel — it is, before all, to make you see. That — and no more, and it is everything. If I succeed, you shall find there according to your deserts: encouragement, consolation, fear, charm — all you demand; and, perhaps, also that glimpse of truth for which you have forgotten to ask.”
― Joseph Conrad, The Nigger of the Narcissus and the Secret Sharer
