Quote by Georges Bataille

“His birth, his death, the events of his life may have an interest for others, but he alone is directly concerned in them. He is born alone. He dies alone. Between one being and another, there is a gulf, a discontinuity.”

Then, Hubert threw the heart at the wall, but it returned to the table like it was not cut at all. Then the room became dark, and Hubert’s face dishevels, and he drinks more tea.
