“To be oneself is to express oneself that is already to serve the other.
The language by which a being exists for another is his unique possibility to exist with an existence that is more than his interior existence.”
-Emmanuel Levinas
‘Call no man happy until he is dead.’ Herodotus
Posted in Uncategorized on February 28, 2009 by Christa
“Are you happy?” asked Mr Nancy, suddenly. He had been staring at Shadow for several hours. Whenever Shadow glanced over to his right, Mr. Nancy was looking at him with his earth-brown eyes.
“Not really,” said Shadow. “But I’m not dead yet.”
“Huh?’
“‘Call no man happy until he is dead.’ Herodotus.”
Mr. Nancy raised a white eyebrow, and he said, “I’m not dead yet, and , mostly because I’m not dead yet, I’m happy as a clamboy.”
“The Herodotus thing. It doesn’t mean that the dead are happy,” said Shadow. ” It means that you can’t judge the shape of someone’s life until it’s over and done.”
-Quoted from Neil Gaiman’s American Gods
