“To lose one's life is no great matter; when the time comes I'll have the courage to lose mine. But what's intolerable is to see one's life being drained of meaning, to be told there's no reason for existing. A man can't live without some reason for living.”
“Losing your life is not the worst thing that can happen. The worst thing is to lose your reason for living.”
“The fact that life has no meaning is a reason to live-moreover, the only one.”
“The fact that life has no meaning is a reason to live --moreover, the only one.”
“No one loses any other life than the one he now lives, nor does one live any other life than that which he will lose.”
“You have to begin to lose your memory, if only in bits and pieces, to realize that memory is what makes our lives. Life without memory is no life at all... Our memory is our coherence, our reason, our feeling, even our action. Without it we are nothing.”
