Dear Nobody,

Dying is not the worst thing that can happen to a man. Look at me… I’ve been dead for three days now, and have finally found my peace. You used to say that my life was hanging by a thread. Maybe so, but I’m afraid it’s your life that’s hanging by a thread now. And there’s quite a few people who’d like to cut that thread. Yeah, I guess it’s your way of feeling alive. See, there’s a whole difference between you and me: I always try to steer away from trouble, while you seem to be looking for it all the time. But I must admit, you’ve been able to solve your share, even if you like others to take the credit. This way, you can remain a “nobody.”

My Name is Nobody (1973)
