"Basically, what I've always passionately desired —and what I still desire, although by now there's no hope of it— is to be at the centre of a beautiful event. An event: that's to say, a temporal flow that happened to me — that wasn't in front of me, like a picture or piece of music, but that was made around my life and in my life, with my time. An event in which I was the main actor; which rolled my wishes and desires; of which I was the author, as the painter is the author of his picture. And that this event should be beautiful: in other words, that it have the splendid, bitter necessity of a tragedy..." -- Jean Paul Sartre, The War Diaries
