Give to them according to their work and according to the evil of their deeds; give to them according to the work of their hands; render them their due reward.
Psalm 28:4

They both wanted to exchange bodies, exchange faces.
There was in both of them the dark strain of wanting to become the other, to
deny what they were, to transcend their actual selves.
— Anaïs Nin, Ladders to Fire
literacki
If I obstinately refuse all the ‘later on’s’ of this
world, it is because I have no desire to give up my present wealth. I do not
want to believe that death is a gateway to another life. For me, it is a closed
door…Everything people suggest seeks to deliver man from the weight of his own
life. But as I watch the great birds flying heavily through the sky of Djemila,
it is precisely a certain weight of life that I ask for and obtain.
— Albert Camus - “The Wind at Djemila,” Lyrical and Critical

Every life is a piece of music. Like music, we are finite events, unique
arrangements, sometimes harmonious, sometimes dissonant. —
Sometimes not worth hearing again.
