“How can I find a way outwhen I do not know how to begin to resist?”

“I try to find meaning anywhere I can. It's the only way I know how to validate my existence.”

“The unknownness of my needs frightens me. I do now know how huge they are, or how high they are, I only know that they are not being met. If you want to find out the circumference of an oil drop, you can use lycopodium powder. That’s what I’ll find. A tub of lycopodium powder, and I will sprinkle it on to my needs and find out how large they are. Then when I meet someone I can write up the experiment and show them what they have to take on.”

“I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, pain, torture it endures and knows how to turn to its advantage”

“Do I know what a man is ? Do I know how a man is supposed to die ? I’m still trying to find out how a man should live. Am I supposed to tell someone how to die who has never lived ?”

“You can try to pin me down with a hundred thousand arms, but I will find a way to resist”
