“He whispered
That my plan was misconceived
That my special plan for this world was a terrible mistake
Because, he said, there is nothing to do and there is no where to go
There is nothing to be and there is no one to know

This world is a mistake, I replied”
― Thomas Ligotti, I Have a Special Plan for This World

“But I have not triumphed in my cause, and as long as I have not triumphed, the devil will remain at large and I will favor his being at large. I have not yet triumphed over the thing I am against. But I haven't lost yet, either. More important still, I haven't capitulated. I declare myself in a state of total war.”
― Fritz Zorn, Mars

“No more worlds like this / No more days like that”

“Never believe straight off in a man’s unhappiness. Ask him if he can still sleep. If the answer’s “yes,” all’s well. That is enough.”
― Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Journey to the End of the Night
