Jean-Paul Sartre. Nausea (№ 17098)

Here's my reasoning: for the most banal incident turned into an adventure, it is enough to TELL. That's what fools people; every man is always a teller of stories, he lives surrounded by stories, friends and foes, and all that happens to him, he sees through the prism. So he tries to fit his own life story about her.
But we have to choose: live or tell.
