Danilo Kis Quotes
There Are People," My Father Continued, "who Are Born To Be Unhappy And To Make Others Unhappy, Who Are The Victims Of Celestial Intrigues Incomprehensible To Us, Guinea Pigs For The Celestial Machinery, Rebels Allotted The Part Of A Rebel Yet Born - By The Cruel Logic Of The Celestial Comedy - With Their Wings Clipped. They Are Titans Without The Power Of Titans, Dwarf-titans Whose Only Greatness Was Given Them In The Form Of A Rigid Dose Of Sensitivity That Dissolves Their Trifling Strength Like Alcohol. They Follow Their Star, Their Sick Sensibility, Borne Along By Titanic Plans And Intentions, But Then Break Like Waves Against The Rocky Banks Of Triviality. The Height Of The Cruelty Allotted Them In Lucidity, That Awareness Of Their Own Limitations, That Sick Capacity For Dissociation. I Look At Myself In The Role Forced On Me By The Heavens And By Fate, Conscious Of My Role At All Times Yet At The Same Time Unable To Resist It With The Force Of Logic Or Will.
