Quotes from A City of Steam He realizes that life, if it is not a dream, is at least a play, where the absurdity of the painful story always piles up behind the scenes, and because there is no revenge greater or more worthwhile between the sky and the earth than carving beauty and skill into the rhythm of words in order to discover the meaning of things in their meaninglessness. I have always envied some people who have the ability to forget, and see that the past is nothing but changing seasons, or an old shoe that only needs to be thrown into the bottom of the closet to make it incapable of resuming lost steps. One must walk as long as they have legs, speak as long as they have a voice, and dream as long as they retain innocence. We do not betray those who seek to drown us; rather, those who extend their hand to save us, perhaps for nothing more than to deny the gratitude we owe them.
