Leben willst du? Kannst du das denn?
Seneca, Moralische Briefe an Lucilius (Epistulae morales ad Lucilium), IX, 77, 18

There died a myriad,
And of the best, among them,
For an old bitch gone in the teeth,
For a botched civilization, Charm, smiling at the good mouth,
Quick eyes gone under earth's lid,
For two gross of broken statues,
For a few thousand battered books.
Ezra Pound
Leben muss man ein Leben lang lernen, und, darüber wirst du dich vielleicht am meisten wundern: ein Leben lang muss man sterben lernen.

Stanley Kubrick on the set of his masterpiece, "Barry Lyndon," 1975. Roger Ebert said "Stanley Kubrick's 'Barry Lyndon'...is now widely regarded as one of the master's best...technically awesome, emotionally distant, remorseless in its doubt of human goodness."

Und was bedeuten diese Zwänge,
halb Bild, halb Wort und halb Kalkül,
was ist in dir, woher die Dränge
aus stillem trauernden Gefühl?

James Joyce. He wore white to reflect more light onto the paper he was working on because he suffered from severe vision problems, including near-blindness.
Was frommte mir's, den Baldachin zu tragen,
Mit meinem Äußern hohlem Prunk zu dienen,
Zu baun an ewger Werke Unterlagen,
Die Umsturz rasch verwandeln in Ruinen?
William Shakespeare, Sonett 125 (Übers. G. Wolff)
The stars are dead; the animals will not look:
we are left alone with our day, and the time is short and
history to the defeated
may say Alas but cannot help or pardon.
Wystan Hugh Auden, Spain 1937
