Life is terrorism, so spare me your indignation. Life is one big infiltration of our secure defenses. Some people put bombs on buses and blow them up: those are terrorists. Some people speak to you and their words blow you up: what would you call those people? Life is a condemned cell.... That's the only way to protect yourself... to understand that you're always under sentence of death and to try to get a temporary remission.
