Zitate von William Faulkner

Aber mit der Zeit wirst du alt, dann siehst du den Tod. Dann begreifst du, daß nichts – nichts – nicht Macht noch Ruhm, Reichtum, Genuß oder Schmerzlosigkeit soviel wert sind wie die einfache Fähigkeit zu atmen, wie das einfache Am-Leben-sein – bei aller Qual des Sich-erinnern-müssens und allem Leid durch den unwiederherstellbaren, vernutzten Körper; nur zu wissen, daß man am Leben ist...

In time you become old, you see death then. Then you realise that nothing - nothing - nothing - not power nor glory nor wealth nor pleasure nor even freedom from pain, is as valuable as simple breathing, simply being alive even with all the regret of having to remember and the anguish of an irreparable worn-out body; merely knowing that you are alive-
