Now, I believe in life, and I believe in the joy of human existence, but these things cannot be experienced except as we also face the despair, also face the anxiety that every human being has to face if he lives with any creativity at all.
You are my heart, my life, my entire existence.

As the render is to the building, and the blueprint to the machine, so sport is to social existence.
Existence is movement. Action is movement. Existence is defined by the rhythm of forces in natural balance. (. . . ) It is our appreciation for dance that allows us to see clearly the rhythms of nature and to take natural rhythm to a plane of well-organised art and culture.
Literature is a form of language that breaks with the whole definition of genres as forms adapted to an order of representations, and becomes merely a manifestation of a language which has no other law than that of affirming in opposition to all other forms of discourse its own precipitous existence.

Beyond peace, there is no longer any existence possible.
My dear, did you just try to prove the existence of God with your cleavage?
