Raskolnikov

“It is so short and jumbled and jangled, Sam, because there is nothing intelligent to say about a massacre. Everybody is supposed to be dead, to never say anything or want anything ever again. Everything is supposed to be very quiet after a massacre, and it always is, except for the birds. And what do the birds say? All there is to say about a massacre, things like "Poo-tee-weet?”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

“There is no trap so deadly as the trap you set for yourself.”
― Raymond Chandler, Long Goodbye

“Hay asimismo una felicidad metafísica en sostener la absurdidad del mundo. La conquista o el escenario, el amor innumerable, la revuelta absurda, son homenajes que el hombre rinde a su dignidad en una campaña en la que está vencido de antemano”
― Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”
― Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
