• To exist is to defy all that threatens you. To be a rebel is not to accumulate a library of subversive books or to dream of fantastic conspiracies or of taking to the hills. It is to make yourself your own law. To find in yourself what counts. To make sure that you’re never “cured” of your youth. To prefer to put everyone up against the wall rather than to remain supine. To pillage whatever can be converted to your law, without concern for appearance.

• All your life spent getting ready for the next thing. I climbed a lot of hills now. I crossed a lot of rivers. Crossed the sea even, left everything I knew and came to Styria. But there I was, waiting for me at the docks when I got off the boat, same man, same life. Next valley ain't no different from this one. No better anyway. Reckon I've learned ... just to stick in the place I'm at. Just to be the man I am.

• Like an army defeated
  The snow hath retreated,
  And now doth fare ill
  On the top of the bare hill;
  The Ploughboy is whooping — anon — anon!
  There's joy in the mountains:
  There's life in the fountains;
  Small clouds are sailing,
  Blue sky prevailing;
  The rain is over and gone.

• Rest forever, tired heart.
  The final illusion has perished.
  The one we believed eternal is gone.
  Just like that. Out the door desire
  follows hope. Rest forever.
  Enough throbbing. Nothing deserves your attention
  nor is the earth worth a sigh.
  Bitterness and boredom is life,
  nothing else ever, and the world is mud.
  Quiet now. Despair for the last time.
  Fate gives us dying as a gift.
  Now turn from the hills, the ugly hidden power
  which rules for the common evil
  and the infinite vanity of it all.

  Giacomo Leopardi
