I am the sum total of their experiences, their quests. And so are you Picture Quote #1

I believe that all the survivors are mad. One time or another their madness will explode. You cannot absorb that much madness and not be influenced by it.

The good is, like nature, an immense landscape in which man advances through centuries of exploration Picture Quote #1

Were art to redeem man, it could do so only by saving him from the seriousness of life and restoring him to an unexpected boyishness Picture Quote #1
