مات وهو لا يزال حياً. قد تبدو هذه الألفاظ متناقضة، لكنني عرفت العديد من الناس الذين كفّوا عن العيش، مع انهم واصلوا العمل والأكل والانخراط في نشاطاتهم الاجتماعية المعتادة. فعلوا كل شيء تلقائياً، غافلين عن اللحظة السحرية التي يحملها كل يوم معه. لم يتوقفوا يوماً للتفكير في معجزة الحياة، لم يفهموا يوماً أن اللحظة التالية قد تكون الأخيرة على وجه الأرض
