Life is not a spectacle or a feast; it is a predicament.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Life is a predicament which precedes death.
A gourmet meal without a glass of wine just seems tragic to me somehow.
In societies where modern conditions of production prevail, all of life presents itself as an immense accumulation of spectacles. Everything that was directly lived has moved away into a representation.
Life is not a piece of tragic fiction in which, at the end of the reading, we all get up and go out for drinks.
Life is more than sunglasses and hit movies. Reality - that's the main event.
Life itself is the proper binge.
Life is not a dress rehearsal.
Life ought to be a struggle of desire toward adventures whose nobility will fertilize the soul.
It is best to rise from life as from a banquet, neither thirsty nor drunken.
Don't get up from the feast of life without paying for your share of it.
