315: A Memorable Fancy – XXXXI
23 November, 2011What are the most terrible words one can hear, the most crushing? One said “dishonor,” and I said “no.” And another said “death” and I said “no.” And a third said “nothingness,” and I said no. And they said “Well, then, tell us!” and I did, and they did not like my answer, for I had said “Never!” and “Always!”
[after Piero Camporesi]
