A trăi înseamnă să poți supraviețui strivit între două imagini despre tine: a ta și a celorlalți. "Vieţile noastre, în singurătatea lor, pot fi asemănate, pentru a folosi o vorbă a lui Platon, cu o "panglică de măsurat fără semne pe ea". Am o viaţă. Iată, iau părţi din ea şi, povestindu-le, le pun în vitrină. Scoţându-le în lume, pun semne pe panglica vieţii mele.
