“لقد انتاب الإنسان شعور منذ القرن الثامن عشر وبعد صرخة نيتشه المعروفة، بأنّه تُرِكَ وحيداً في هذا العالم الخاوي. وهو بهذا يشبه الطفل الذي استيقظ لتوه ذات صباح، ليجد من يخبره أنّ أباه قد توفي وأنّه ينبغي عليه أن يتحمل مسؤولية الأسرة. إنّ هذا الإحساس بالحرمان من الأب إنّما هو من أعظم الصدمات النفسية التي يمكن للمرء أن يقاسيها.”
― Colin Wilson, The Mind Parasites: The Supernatural Metaphysical Cult Thriller

“الإنسان تأتيه فكره عظيمة، فجأة يركّز عقله عليها لحظة من الزمن، عند هذه النقطة تتدخل العادة. كأن تشكو معدته الجوع، أو يجفّ ريقه ويهمس في أذنه صوت صفير مزيف: إذهب واشبع حاجاتك الجسدية فتغدوا قادراً على التركيز أكثر من ذي قبل. فتراه ينقاد للصوت وسرعان ما ينسى الفكرة العظيمة.”

“I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom.”
― Edgar Allan Poe

“For some nights I slept profoundly; but still every morning I felt the same lassitude, and a languor weighed upon me all day. I felt myself a changed girl. A strange melancholy was stealing over me, a melancholy that I would not have interrupted. Dim thoughts of death began to open, and an idea that I was slowly sinking took gentle, and, somehow, not unwelcome possession of me. If it was sad, the tone of mind which this induced was also sweet. Whatever it might be, my soul acquiesced in it.”
― Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Carmilla
