"I am obsessed by man and his condition: his dreams, his frailties, his bravery, his foolishness. I loathe ideologues, shy away from systems, dislike technocrats, shun those intellectuals possessing thought without wisdom. We are all here for a pathetically short span; we are dust. Greatness is fleeting; deeds are transitory. We must respect and acknowledge each other on this shortride from dark into dark. It is a funhouse ride and we only take it once."
