French comedy. Why is it that we have so little comedy? “Advance, for the Motherland!” “The Motherland or Death!” I taught my students: Lighting the way for others, I am “consumed in the service of others.” I taught them about the feat of Danko,95 who ripped his heart out of his chest and lit the way for others. We never talked about life . . . No, hardly . . . Hero! Hero! Hero! Life consisted of heroes . . . victims and executioners . . . There were no other kinds of people.
