"Saya berada di taman di Museum Rodin. Selama beberapa menit aku sendirian, duduk di bangku di antara dua pagar mawar yang panjang. Mawar merah muda. Tiba-tiba saya merasakan perasaan damai yang paling kuat, dan saya berpikir bahwa kematian, jika itu berarti penyerapan ke dalam realitas seperti yang ada sebelum saya, mungkin baik-baik saja."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

I was in a garden at the Rodin Museum. For a few minutes I was alone, sitting on a bench between two long hedges of roses. Pink roses. Suddenly I felt the most powerful feeling of peace, and I had the thought that death, if it means an absorption into a reality like the one that was before me, might be all right.
