Ale może raczej należałoby powiedzieć, że naczelną, podstawową męką jest nie co innego, tylko cierpienie, zrodzone z ograniczenia drugim człowiekiem, z tego, że się dusimy i dławimy w ciasnym, wąskim, sztywnym wyobrażeniu o nas drugiego człowieka.

Serious literature does not exist to make life easy but to complicate it.

I became bold because I had absolutely nothing to lose: neither honors, nor earnings, nor friends. I had to find myself anew and rely only on myself, because I could rely on no one else. My form is my solitude.

Why, my man is created from the outside, that is, he is inauthentic in essence- he is always not-himself, because he is determined by form, which is born between people. His "I", therefore, is marked for him in that "interhumanity." An eternal actor, but a natural one, because his artificiality is inborn, it makes up a feature of his humanity-to be a man means to be an actor-to be a man means to pretend to be a man-to be a man means to "act like" a man while not being one deep inside-to be a man is to recite humanity.
