"And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about." - Haruki Murakami, Kafka by the Shore.

"The man who has never imagined his own annihilation, who has not anticipated recourse to the rope, the bullet, poison, or the sea, is a degraded galley slave or a worm crawling upon the cosmic carrion". Emil Cioran

[Anhedoniac]

"There are no choices. Nothing but a straight line. The illusion comes afterwards, when you ask 'Why me?' and 'What if?' when you look back, see the branches, like a pruned bonsai tree, or a forked lightning. If you had done something differently, it wouldn't be you, it would be someone else looking back, asking a different set of questions."

- Max Payne

Favorite quote in signature (by my sister if you're curious)

 

[Tyrone Slothrop]

"All I've ever done is dream. That, and only that, has been the meaning of my existence. The only thing I've ever really cared about is my inner life. My greatest griefs faded to nothing the moment I opened the window onto my inner self and lost myself in watching.
I never tried to be anything other than a dreamer. I never paid any attention to people who told me to go out and live. I belonged always to whatever was far from me and to whatever I could never be. Anything that was not mine, however base, always seemed to be full of poetry. The only thing I ever loved was pure nothingness."
― Fernando Pessoa

"Philosophizing is simply one way of being afraid, a cowardly pretense that doesn't get you anywhere."
― Louis-Ferdinand Celine, Journey to the End of the Night

"When the lambs is lost in the mountain, he said. They is cry. Sometime come the mother. Sometime the wolf."[/H1]
― Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, or the Evening Redness in the West

Although the deadline was less than a quarter of an hour away, he was still working on his leader. He had gone as far as: "Life is worth while, for it is full of dreams and peace, gentleness and ecstasy, and faith that burns like a clear white flame on a grim dark altar." But he found it impossible to continue. The letters were no longer funny. He could not go on finding the same joke funny thirty times a day for months on end. And on most days he received more than thirty letters, all of them alike, stamped from the dough of suffering with a heart-shaped cookie knife.
~ from Miss Lonelyhearts by Nathanael West.

Suicide is a right worth dying for.

[furret]

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Litany Against Fear - Bene Gesserit
from Dune

"Be the change you want to see in the world"

 

[Tyrone Slothrop]

At this point, man withdrew and fled.


Then the animals ate him.

It was not a rape,
he lent himself to the obscene meal.

He relished it,
he learned himself
to act like an animal
and to eat rat
daintily.

And where does this foul debasement come from?

The fact that the world is not yet formed,
or that man has only a small idea of the world
and wants to hold on to it forever?

This comes from the fact that man,
one fine day,
stopped
the idea of the world.

Two paths were open to him:
that of the infinite without,
that of the infinitesimal within.

And he chose the infinitesimal within.
Where one need only squeeze
the spleen,
the tongue,
the anus
or the glans.

And god, god himself squeezed the movement.

• • god,and with god his organs.
• For you can tie me up if you wish,
  but there is nothing more useless than an organ.
  When you will have made him a body without organs,
  then you will have delivered him from all his automatic reactions
  and restored him to his true freedom.
  They you will teach him again to dance wrong side out
  as in the frenzy of dance halls
  and this wrong side out will be his real place.
  -From Artaud's To have done with the judgement of God
  
  
  A Radically Condensed History of Postindustrial Life :: A short story by David Foster Wallace
  When they were introduced, he made a witticism, hoping to be liked. She laughed very hard, hoping to be liked. Then each drove home alone, staring straight ahead, with the very same twist to their faces.
  The man who'd introduced them didn't much like either of them, though he acted as if he did, anxious as he was to preserve good relations at all times. One never knew, after all, now did one now did one now did one.
  [appears in Brief Interviews with Hideous Men]
  
  
  "Mine has been a life of much shame. I can't even guess myself what it must be to live the life of a human being."
  ― Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human

"People hear that I am a horror writer and they think that I must be a monster, but actually I have the heart of a small child- I keep it in a jar on my desk." -Robert Bloch

 

[Sluggish_Slump]

"Maybe we really are made of the same clay, maybe we really are condemned, blameless, to the same, identical mediocrity."
- Elena Ferrante

'Be who you are and say how you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind'

[LocalMistake]

"... Hang yourself, you will regret it; do not hang yourself, and you will regret that too; hang yourself or don't hang yourself, you'll regret it either way; whether you hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret both." (soren kierkegaard)

mostly the "you'll regret it either way" part
