Arnon Grunberg Quote

En terwijl Kadoke verwoed bezig is de trainer van zich af te duwen, dringt het tot hem door dat hij niet zeker weet of hij wil laten zien dat hij niet wil sterven. Dat hij niet zeker weet of niet-sterven nu zoveel beter is dan sterven. Dat hij twijfelt of het wel de moeite waard is, dit gevecht, deze hopeloze, enigszins onesthetische dans die men leven noemt, voor iets wat zelfs de trainer alleen maar 'niet-sterven' kan noemen. Alsof dat de bittere waarheid van leven is, dat het uiteindelijk niets anders is dan niet-sterven.
