“I do know what suffering is. It is terrible, not because it torments the body but because you no longer dream of ridding yourself of pain: you are prepared to rid yourself of your body. To die.

She will never find out, though, where the highway begins and where it leads.” KnowledgeAtheismThe Aviator Author:Evgenij Vodolazkin
