“You know, if this is Venus, or some other strange planet, were liable to run into some high-domed characters with green blood in their veins wholl blast at us with their atomic death rayguns, and there well be with thesethese poor old-fashioned shootin irons.”

“The death clock is ticking slowly in our breast, and each drop of blood measures its time, and our life is a lingering fever.”
—Georg Büchner (18131837)
“Since the death instinct exists in the heart of everything that lives, since we suffer from trying to repress it, since everything that lives longs for rest, let us unfasten the ties that bind us to life, let us cultivate our death wish, let us develop it, water it like a plant, let it grow unhindered. Suffering and fear are born from the repression of the death wish.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
