“There's a dizzying thrill in a philosophy that can only be tested by suicide.”

“Die in one universe and yet in another go on without a hitch. If this were true, the person who understood it would have conquered death. Would be invulnerable. Would be the Superman. There's a dizzying thrill in a philosophy that can only be tested by suicide -- and then never proven, only tested again by another attempt. And the person embarked on that series of tests, treading that trail of lives as if from boulder to boulder across the river of time -- no, out into the burning ocean of eternity -- what a mutant! Some new genesis, like a pale, poisonous daisy.”

“... dizzied, thrilled, depressed by remembering...”

“Making itself intelligible is suicide for philosophy.”

“And there's a freedom in apathy, a wild, dizzying liberation on which you can almost get drunk.”

“Philosophy leads to death, sociology leads to suicide.”
