— Look at them all.
— There's not been a gathering like this in our lifetime.

Creditors have better memories than debtors.
Only relatives, or creditors, ever ring in that Wagnerian manner.
Everyone has some kind of debt <…> Debts and liabilities, obligations, gratitude, payments, doing something for someone. Or perhaps for ourselves? For in fact we are always paying ourselves back and not someone else. Each time we are indebted we pay off the debt to ourselves. In each of us lies a creditor and a debtor at once and the art is for the reckoning to tally inside us.
