I've got a genuine interest in just about everything imaginable. I have a knack for almost anything that ends in -ism. I live by the fact that Otto von Bismarck was one badass motherfucker, and that he, along with Rainer Maria Rilke and Hermann Hesse, are the Holy Trinity ruling from Germany.I like the smell of old books and the allure of old poetry. I plan to name my children (should I have any) after famous chemists/chemical equations. Henderson-Hasselbach is my firstborn. I think surrealism is fantastic, particularly in writing, and I love the game le cadavre exquise. Soccer is more than a sport, and if I had time, I would play every day.Poetry is [insert deity here]'s greatest creation. There is poetry in everything. I love poetry that utilises mathematical metaphor.Europe[an history] is really one of the best things ever.It's my belief that I can relate to the interests of just about everyone. =]
Few people nowadays know what man is. Many sense this ignorance and die the more easily because of it, the same way that I will die more easily once I have completed this story.
I do not consider myself less ignorant than most people. I have been and still am a seeker, but I have ceased to question stars and books; I have begun to listen to the teachings my blood whispers to me. My story is not a pleasant one; it is neither sweet nor harmonious, as invented stories are; it has the taste of nonsense and chaos, of madness and dreams--like the lives of all men who stop deceiving themselves.
Each man's life represents a road toward himself, an attempt at such a road, the intimation of a path. No man has ever been entirely and completely himself. Yet each one strives to become that-one in an awkward, the other in a more intelligent way, each as best he can. Each man carries the vestiges of his birth--the slime and eggshells of his primeval past--with him to the end of his days. Some never become human, remaining frog, lizard, ant. Some are human above the waist, fish below. Each represents a gamble on the part of nature in creation of the human. We all share the same origin, our mothers; all of us come in at the same door. But each of us--experiments of the depths--strives toward his own destiny. We can understand one another; but each of us is able to interpret himself to himself alone.
