Pivotal and essential scene from a great Jarmusch film. Even out of context, the allegory seems pretty obvious.

Had I not known
that I was dead
already
I would have mourned
the loss of my life.

Even if it seems certain that you will lose, retaliate. Neither wisdom nor technique has a place in this. A real man does not think victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death. By doing this, you will awaken from your dreams.
