“To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.”
— Friedrich Nietzsche

But what if there is no meaning? What if survival is simply delay — a prolonging of the inevitable return to dust?

“The only absolute knowledge attainable by man is that life is meaningless.”
— Leo Tolstoy

“We are condemned to be free.”
— Jean-Paul Sartre

Freedom to drift, to ache, to vanish without legacy.

“Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself.”
— Again Sartre. And yet, we unmake ourselves with every breath.
