“Dionysus does not

explain or regret
anything. He is
pleased

if he can cause you to perform,
despite your plan,
despite your politics,

despite your neuroses,
despite even your Dionysian theories of self,
something quite previous,

the desire
before the desire,
the lick of beginning to know you don’t know.

If life is a stage,
that is the show.
Exit Dionysus.”
― Anne Carson, The Bacchae

“»Dort sind Leute! Denkt Euch, die schlafen nicht!«

»Und warum denn nicht?«

»Weil sie nicht müde werden.«

»Und warum denn nicht?«

»Weil sie Narren sind.«

»Werden denn Narren nicht müde?«

»Wie könnten Narren müde werden!«”
― Franz Kafka
