Selfdestruction Quotes

“It's 4am again and I'm just getting started. People are boring and I want to burn with excitement or anger and bleed, bleed through my words. I want to get all fucked up and write real and raw and ugly and beautifully. I bet you're sleeping safe and calm, and you can stay there, it's safer there, and you wouldn't stand one night on this journey my mind wanders off to every night you close your eyes. I'll stay here one day and I will never come down.
I promise I can fly before I hit the ground.
It doesn't even hurt anymore.
I swear, it doesn't hurt.”
― Charlotte Eriksson, Empty Roads & Broken Bottles: in search for The Great Perhaps

“In the long run, the aggressive civilizations destroy themselves, almost always. It's their nature.”
― Carl Sagan, Contact

“Inasmuch as the individual no longer confronts the other, he finds himself face to face with himself. On account of an aggressive backlash on the part of his immune system, a dislocation of his own code and the destruction of his own defences, the individual becomes in a sense an antibody to himself. Our society is entirely dedicated to neutralizing otherness, to destroying the other as a natural point of reference in a vast flood of aseptic communication and interaction, of illusory exchange and contact. By dint of communication, our society develops an allergy to itself. By becoming transparent in its genetic, biological and cybernetic being, the body even develops an allergy to its own shadow. Otherness denied becomes a spectre and returns in the form of a selfdestructive process. This, too, is the transparency of Evil.”
― Jean Baudrillard, The Transparency of Evil: Essays in Extreme Phenomena

“And to the girl who gave me her entire life for nothing in return
i leave my violence and my resentment”
― Megan Fox, Pretty Boys Are Poisonous: Poems

“An empire that cleaves to power cleaves itself; the blade that binds its dominion also splits its foundation, for conquest divides even its victors.”
― Pierre Lagrenat
