I think it is essential for us to face the danger which is Literature. I think it is a great and serious danger. But one is really a man only by facing this danger. It's within Literature that we apprehend human perspectives under their fullest shape, since Literature doesn’t let us live without apprehending human things through their most violent perspectives. Whether it be tragedy, Shakespeare and so on. It is mainly Literature that allows us to see the worst. And to know how to face it, how to overcome it. On the whole the man at play finds in the game the strength to overcome what the game gives of horror.
