- "Citav nas zivot moze da bude jedna puka fikcija, jedna strasna igra u zagrljaju bunila, jedna usijana iluzija prosijana na rubu stvarnosti. Jedino je smrt realna. Ona je jedino sto nam se u zivotu stvarno dogajdja. Pa opet nepojmljiva. Nepojmljiva i nevjerovatna. Svaki se zivot odigrava u nekakvom, mada i iluzornom, mada i proizvoljnom, sistemu koordinata;na nekoj, mada i cudnoj, sahovskoj ploci.
