Three Plays Quotes

“Suicide is an escape from life. What is life? An escape from death. This means that each of us must die twice. There is the death waiting us ahead, and the death that comes pursuing us from behind. Your trouble is that you're confused, Once you are free at least from the death that comes pursuing you, you can relax and enjoy life as you go along.”
― Kōbō Abe, Three Plays: Involuntary Homicide / The Green Stockings / The Ghost Is Here
