"Life - A fight against death with the knowledge"

Rossio, Lisboa, a cidade de Fernando Pessoa


Life - A fight against death with the knowledge,
Life

A fight against death with the knowledge, or rather, with the certainty of being conquered. Conciliation of general power with the not‑power of benevolence.

But

Leibnitz might have reflected on this and on the irony of it, that life is a combat against death with the certainty of being conquered.
