"Once upon a time, when I was still Edward Stachura, I thought that people live too long. That he should live one day like some butterflies. Or one year, from spring to winter. Schopenhauer says that, considering all the pros and cons, it would be better for man not to have been born. I'm 42 years old and I feel like I'm carrying 420 of them. I've lived hard. Something new every day. I didn't fall into any routine."
