For [s]writers [s] who invent the quotations:
The man lost his ankle, began to be afraid of complicated proposals. I wanted a simpler phrase. After simple phrases came simple thoughts.
Then he lost his crying sign and began to speak quietly, with one intonation. Nothing pleased him or annoyed him, he treated everything without emotions.
Then he lost his question mark and stopped asking questions. No events caused his curiosity, wherever they occurred – in space, on Earth, or even in his own apartment.
A few years later, he lost his duality and stopped explaining his actions to people.
For the rest of his life, he had only left his cows. He did not express any of his own ideas, he quoted someone all the time - so he learned to think and reached the point.
Beware of signs!
