They want to believe, and they want to suffer, suffer, only suffer, and they choke the dying man to make them suffer even more, so they’ll suffer till their last breath, so that no good moment can ever exist. If the rocks and water rip away your face, it’s for the sake of everyone. If you live with the belief that the river will carry away the village, you won’t think about anything else. Let the suffering be removed, but not desire, because desire keeps you alive. That’s why they’re afraid. They are consumed by the fear of desire. They want you to suffer so they won’t think about desire. You’re maimed when you’re little, the fear is hammered into the back of your head. Because desire keeps you alive, they kill it off while you’re growing up.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Merce Rodoreda" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/merce-rodoreda/they-want-you-to-be-afraid-they-want-to-believe-and-they-want-to/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a06/merce-rodoreda-67051_death_they-want-you-to-be-afraid-they-want-to_1373723.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a06/merce-rodoreda-67051_death_they-want-you-to-be-afraid-they-want-to_1373723.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a06/merce-rodoreda-67051_death_they-want-you-to-be-afraid-they-want-to_1373723.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“They want you to be afraid.
