“...the mechanics of dying...”
“But better die than live mechanically a life that is a repetition of repetitions.”
“We all die and disappear, but that's because the mechanism of the world itself is built on destruction and loss.”
“There are some authors who contend that meanings and values are "nothing but defense mechanisms, reaction formations and sublimations." But as for myself, I would not be willing to live merely for the sake of my "defense mechanisms," nor would I be ready to die merely for the sake of my "reaction formations.”
“I was born the son of a humble mechanic. A quantum mechanic.”
“With all the safety mechanisms in place to make cribs safer, still more infants die alone in cribs than in the family bed; yet, there has never been an outcry to ban cribs.”
