When Papillon came up with the third escape method, Dega once asked "You think it would work?" Papillon answered "Does it matter?" It doesn't matter to him to die, but if he lives, he must be free, and procrastination is totally unacceptable. I think if everyone thinks this way, the world might be a better place. It is because many people hold that it is better to die than to live, so they can endure a lot of things in order to survive, turning a blind eye to sin, and even helping them to abuse them.
There is another sentence I like very much, "Hey you bastards, I'm still here.". Papillon said twice, the first time in the isolation prison, using the horizontal bar on the ceiling to do pull-ups. The second time in the sea, lying on the coconut shell. For someone who has treated you unfairly, the best revenge is to keep fighting.
