"Termina sempre assim. Com a morte.
Mas primeiro havia a vida. Escondida sob o blá, blá, blá.
Está tudo sedimentado sob os falsos rumores. O silêncio e o sentimento. A emoção e o medo.
Os insignificantes, inconstantes lampejos de beleza.
Depois a miséria desgraçada e o homem miserável.
Tudo sepultado sob a capa do embaraço de estar no mundo."

O resto é desilusão e fadiga
A viagem é inteiramente imaginária.

É um romance, apenas uma história fictícia.
Disse Littre, e ele não erra.
Porem, qualquer um pode fazer o mesmo.
Basta fechar os olhos.
E está do outro lado da vida.
