It feels like we are slowly dying
All the time
Because we are

There's nothing we can do
But start digging a hole
Or two

It was obvious that cinematography would have to become my means of expression. There I made myself understood through the language that I lacked, through music I had not mastered, and through painting which left me cold. Suddenly I had an opportunity to communicate with the world around me in a language that literally is spoken from soul to soul in expressions that, almost sensuously, escape the restrictive control of the intellect.
- Ingmar Bergman

When you start reading The Secret History and you happen to be a devoted fan of The Smiths, so you make a crossover kinda like between the two:

I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar

The idea of death, the fear of it, haunts the human animal like nothing else; it is a mainspring of human activity—activity designed largely to avoid the fatality of death, to overcome it by denying in some way that it is the final destiny for man.

– Ernest Becker. The Denial of Death. 1973.
