Once you have applied the now ancient philosopher André Gorz which were, summing up a life, his major influences. This is the reply:
" There was Sartre, of course, there was Illich. But the most important influences are not necessarily those of important people. From 1947 to the present, the influence was stronger and continued to "Dorine without which nothing would be," my companion, who told me that it was impossible to love, be loved, to feel, live, have confidence themselves. We have grown and evolved with each other, for each other. Without her I'd probably be able to accept me. Without Sartre, probably would not have found the means to overcome that and think that my family and me the story had done. Since I discovered the 'Being and Nothingness, "I had an inkling of what Sartre said about the ontological status of man correspond to my experience. From early childhood I had had experience of anxiety, the certainty of an existence without purpose, do not correspond to what others expected of me, not being able to understand them. The experience, in short, of contingency, dell'ingiustificabilità, the loneliness of each subject. "
think about it, one of the finest statements love always.
