by Jean-Paul. Satre
““This is what I have been thinking: for the most commonplace event to become an adventure you must - and this is all that is necessary - start recounting it. This is what fools people: a man is always a teller of tales, he lives surrounded by his stories and the stories of others, he sees everything that happens to him through them: and he tries to live his life as if he were recounting it.”

““How pleasant it is,' he says with a confidential air, 'to be able to talk freely at times, like this.' This remark, as might be imagined, kills off our languishing conversation. A long silence follows.”

““All of a sudden I stop: I have felt a worn patch, I have seen a word poking through the web of sensations. I sense that before long that word is going to take the place of several pictures I love. Straight away I stop and quickly think of something else; I don't want to tire my memories. In vain: the next time I evoke them, a good part will have congealed.”
