      • Menna Abu Zahrahas quoted2 years ago
        the man whose only thought was not to die, who had no other interest, no other conversation, nobody else’s doings, hopes, fears, interested him in the least, nothing in the world outside himself, no past, present or future, nothing, all he thought about and spoke about was how not to die.
