It isn’t a question of numbers

“It isn’t a question of numbers. Humanity replenishes itself, none are missed, & none awaited. Humanity will continue on its futile journey, the usual people will ask themselves the usual questions, & wreck their lives in the usual way.”


Jean-Paul Sartre

(The Reprieve)


I just want to take back my words. The Reprieve is not all that disappointing, but it’s not a must read. I think I might have liked it in my 20s.
