I'm beginning to know myself. I don't exist.
Alvaro de Campos

I'm beginning to know myself. I don't exist.
I'm the space between what I'd like to be and what others
made of me.
Or half the space, because there's life there too.....
So that's what I finally am.........
Turn off the light, close the door, stop shuffling your
slippers out there in the hall.
Just let me be at ease and all by myself in my room.
It's a cheap world.

I became a virtuoso of deceit.
It wasn't pleasure I was after, it was knowledge.
I consulted the strictest moralists to learn how to appear,
philosophers to find out what to think
and novelists to see what I could get away with.
And, in the end, I distilled everything down to one
wonderfully simple principle:
win or die.

Christopher Hampton
British Playwright
1946-
