Suddenly there's an idea (Bernhard)

Suddenly there's an idea and it demands realization, our entire life, our entire existence consists only of such ideas demanding realization, once this process breaks off, our life breaks off, we're dead. We consist of nothing but ideas that surface inside us and that we want to realize, that we must realize, or else we're dead... Every idea and every pursuit of an idea inside us is life...the lack of ideas is death.

Thomas Bernhard, Correction
