Maurice Druon. The sensuality of being (№ 70176)

"We all look alike, all fled as the walls of the castle, pride from the fact that we live in the world. And we have only two choices: to accept without a murmur incomprehensible inevitable or prolong the moment of happiness over the line untested. Socratic or doom, or Christian hope. You have to choose one of two dirty tricks!.. If a person does not want to give up, he finds himself isolated from other world and going crazy..."
