  • Quote

    Irony is a disciplinarian feared only by those who do not know it, but cherished by those who do.

He lacks what at moments is indispensable for the personal life, lacks both the regeneration and rejuvenation, the cleaning baptism of irony that redeems the soul from having its life in finitude though living boldly and energetically in finitude.
