" "Get it into your thick head that jokes are just like life. Things that begin badly, end badly. Everything's fine in the middle, it's the end you need to worry about.

It was the kind of nightmare where you realize that the missing weight of things is sitting right there on your chest, like some kind of succubus, but before you can shove it off, it gets sucked away through a mysterious process into the unknowable realm of your cells, and from there on you are defenseless, your cells already weigh a ton, while your whole body is so light it almost floats, and that’s how it goes until you can only wonder how the cells could be so unbearably heavy when the body is so nauseatingly light, and in this nauseating lightheadedness things gradually recede from you just as you too begin to gradually recede from them, in a word it is like when a person lugging a load becomes exhausted by all this lugging and suddenly looking down at his hands sees that there is nothing in them, there never was, that he had been lugging nothing — that is, when you suddenly realize that something is no longer in your possession, just as nothing ever had been.

"كان الجميع يتحدث عن "الاندفاع إلى الفوضى الذى لا يمكن إيقافه"، و "عدم إمكانية توقّع شئ فى الحياة اليومية"، و "الكارثة التى تقترب"، وذلك من غير أية فكرة واضحة عن الثقل الفادح لهذه الكلمات المخيفة. وهذا ما جعله يخلص إلى أن جائحة الخوف تلك لم تكن متولدة عن ثقة حقيقية، تزداد كل يوم، بأن هناك كارثة وشيكة، بل عدوى المخيلة التى كانت قابليتها كبيرة للسقوط فريسة الذعر التى تنتجه بنفسها؛ وهذا يمكن أن يؤدى إلى كارثة فعلية آخر الأمر: بكلمات أخرى، الهاجس الزائف الذى يمكن أن يستسلم له إنسان فقد صوابه عندما تحلل البنية الداخلية لحياته (ترابط عظامه ومفاصله وما بينها)، ويتخلى، لشدة طيشه، عن قوانين روحه التى وضعها الأسلاف... إذا فقد قدرته على ضبط العالم المنظم الذى يحفظ له كرامته. كان يقلقه كثيرًا أن أصدقاءه ظلوا يرفضون الإصغاء إليه رغم محاولاته المتواصلة بإقناعهم بهذا الأمر."
