Ludwig Wittgenstein
“I am my world.”
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein
“An honest religious thinker is like a tightrope walker. He almost looks as though he were walking on nothing but air. His support is the slenderest imaginable. And yet it really is possible to walk on it.”
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Flannery O'Connor
“She would've been a good woman," said The Misfit, "if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life.”
Flannery O'Connor, A Good Man Is Hard to Find and Other Stories

Theodor W. Adorno
“The only responsible course is to deny oneself the ideological misuse of one’s own existence, and for the rest to conduct oneself in private as modestly, unobtrusively and unpretentiously as is required, no longer by good upbringing, but by the shame of still having air to breathe, in hell.”
Theodor W. Adorno, Minima Moralia: Reflections on a Damaged Life

Cormac McCarthy
“He thought that in the beauty of the world were hid a secret. He thought that the world’s heart beat at some terrible cost and that the world’s pain and its beauty moved in a relationship of diverging equity and that in this headlong deficit the blood of multitudes might ultimately be exacted for the vision of a single flower.”
Cormac McCarthy, All the Pretty Horses
