"Just as a sequence of images is set in motion
inside a man as his life comes to an end - unfolding
the views of himself under which he has encountered
himself without being aware of it - suddenly in his
expressions and looks the unforgettable emerges
and imparts to everything that concerned him that
authority which even the poorest wretch in dying
possesses for the living around him. This authority
is at the very source of the story. Death is the sanction
of everything that the storyteller can tell."
-Walter Benjamin
"The novel is significant [...] not because it presents
someone else's fate to us, perhaps didactically, but
because this stranger's fate by virtue of the flame
which consumes it yields us the warmth which we
never draw from our own fate. What draws the
reader to the novel is the hope of warming his
shivering life with a death he reads about."
-Walter Benjamin
