Live or Tell

Sep 23 2003

"Any poet's existence is a sin, viz., the sin that one is writing poetry instead of living; that one occupies oneself with God and truth only in one's imagination instead of aiming at experiencing both existentially." <br/> --Kierkegaard

"One can either live or tell; not both at once." <br/> --Sartre

hi, do you know where that quote of K's comes from? I know Sarte's comes from his early novel Nausea... Thanks
