Nothing was what it is


“Nothing was what it is. That’s what I wanted – to be alone with myself in another world where truth is untrue & life can hide from itself…Who wants to see life as it is, if they can help it? It’s the three Gorgons in one. You look in their faces & turn to stone. Or is it Pan. You see him & you die – that is, inside you - & have to go on living as a ghost.”


Eugene O’ Neill
