Live or Tell

For anything, the most banal even, to become an adventure, you must (and this
is enough) begin to recount it. A man is always a teller of tales, he lives
surrounded by his stories and the stories of others, he sees everything that
happens to him through them, and he tries to live his own life as if he were
telling a story.

But he has to choose: live or tell.
