“Whatever this is that I am, it is a little flesh and breath, and the ruling part. Throw away thy books; no longer distract thyself: it is not allowed; but as if thou wast now dying, despise the flesh; it is blood and bones and a network, a contexture of nerves, veins, and arteries. See the breath also, what kind of a thing it is, air, and not always the same, but every moment sent out and again sucked in. The third then is the ruling part: consider thus: Thou art an old man; no longer let this be a slave, no longer be pulled by the strings like a puppet to unsocial movements, no longer be either dissatisfied with thy present lot, or shrink from the future.”

“How would you know if you were the last man on earth? he said. I dont guess you would know it. You’d just be it. Nobody would know it. It wouldnt make any difference. When you die it’s the same as if everybody else did too. I guess God would know it. Is that it? There is no God. No? There is no God and we are his prophets.”
