Herman Melville
“I would prefer not to.”
― Herman Melville, Bartleby the Scrivener

E.E. Cummings
“Unbeing dead isn't being alive.”
― E. E. Cummings

Georges Bataille
“The need to go astray, to be destroyed, is an extremely private, distant, passionate, turbulent truth.”
― Georges Bataille

Natsume Sōseki
“I believe that words uttered in passion contain a greater living truth than do those words which express thoughts rationally conceived. It is blood that moves the body. Words are not meant to stir the air only: they are capable of moving greater things.”
― Natsume Soseki, Kokoro

Oscar Wilde
“A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.”
― Oscar Wilde
