• There is no neatness in any life- great or small. It is only an illusion men foolishly pursue.
  All lived lives are a mess.
  The neatness in my life had begun to crumble some time before, but now it disintegrated completely as I vanished into a world of endlessly opening doors, teasing riddles and lives without boundaries.
  For the first time I began to understand how shallow neatness is.
  How cramping, how limiting.
  For the first time I understood neat lives are comatose lives. (the Alchemy of Desire 304)

  Around, and day lies still as death.
