Caligula asks C..."Then why do you wish to kill me?" Caligula asks Cherea.<BR/><BR/>"I've told you why; because I regard you as noxious, a constant menace. I like, and need, to feel secure. So do most men. They resent living in a world where the most preposterous fancy may at any moment become a reality, and the absurd transfix their lives, like a dagger in the heart. I feel as they do; I refuse to live in a topsy-turvy world. I want to know where I stand, and to stand secure."<BR/><BR/>"Security and logic don't go together," Caligula replies...<BR/><BR/>"Quite true. My plan of life is not based on logic" (Cherea).<BR/><BR/>~ when reality becomes too much for the consious state to bear, feel immense privilege at the fact that we can escape it. Camus did - and then he gave us his play "Caligula." <BR/><BR/>~ I hope your trip is well.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14891577606793280015noreply@blogger.com
