"Always to live among words, whether one wants to or not,
always to be alive, full of words about life,
as if words were alive, as if life meant words."
always to be alive, full of words about life,
as if words were alive, as if life meant words."
– Ingeborg Bachmann, from “[Always to live among words]”, translated by Peter Filkins (thank you, awritersruminations)
