What If Quotations

What if we all suddenly get carried away thinking - who will be left to act?

What if reality is nothing but some disease?

But because me and myself, as you no doubt are well aware, we are going to die, my relation—and yours too—to the event of this text, which otherwise never quite makes it, our relation is that of a structurally posthumous necessity. Suppose, in that case, that I am not alone in my claim to know the idiomatic code (whose notion itself is already contradictory) of this event. What if somewhere, here or there, there are shares in this non-secret’s secret? Even so the scene would not be changed. The accomplices, as you are once again well aware, are also bound to die.

What if the one I choose to discount is one who has been truly hurt?

What if the only resolution you made was to love yourself more?
