You daren't move, you're confused.
You never talk, you can't walk
You can't feel, you're not real…”

“Death really did not matter to him but life did, and therefore the sensation he felt when they gave their decision was not a feeling of fear but of nostalgia.”

Source: One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967), p. 119
Context: In the shattered schoolhouse where for the first time he had felt the security of power, a few feet from the room where he had come to know the uncertainty of love, Arcadio found the formality of death ridiculous. Death really did not matter to him but life did and therefore the sensation he felt when they gave their decision was not a feeling of fear but of nostalgia. He did not speak until they asked him for his last request.

“when there's no, no storm
Then how can I feel the calm?
If theres nothing, nothing, nothing left to lose
Then what is this feeling

That keeps on bringing me back to you?”
