The Point of Thought

1. Place your hand on my head and swear to me—never again will you take a false oath.

2. When you tire of passing the time, try wasting a little of it instead; you'll find it pleasant.

3. Even hating you exhausts me now—does this mean my death draws very near?

4. What price do you demand for letting me be forgotten? Do I need to go into debt?

5. I have signed this whole world over to you, because I will no longer be here.

6. Tell your mother that my mother has forgiven her.

7. Is it a birth that comes from giving birth, or a birth that arrives at the very threshold of death?

8. You are merely a vessel meant to be discarded. You cannot be loved.

9. I will grip your shirt collar and tell you: "I love you no longer."

10. Better than hatred is to walk away; and better still than walking away is to forget you ever were.
