“I think of the twentieth century as one long question, and in the end we got the answer wrong. Aren't we unfortunate babies to be born when the world ended? After that there was no chance for the planet, and no chance for us.”

“You were in a bad mood writing that last message and said some very morbid things about wanting to die for the revolution. I hope by the time you receive this reply you will be thinking more about wanting to live for the revolution, and what such a life would look like. You say that few people care what happens to you, and I dond't know if that's true, but I do know that some of us care very, very much - e.g. myself, Simon, your mother. I also feel certain it's better to be deeply loved (which you are) than widely liked (which you probably also are! but I won't labour the point).”
