Samuel Beckett
“Use your head, can't you, use your head, you're on earth, there's no cure for that!”
Samuel Beckett, Endgame

Albert Camus
“Don't believe your friends when they ask you to be honest with them. All they really want is to be maintained in the good opinion they have of themselves.”
Albert Camus

Merlin Franco
“Tell me, son, what do you seek?”
Merlin Franco, Saint Richard Parker

Henri Charrière
“I am not a good enough writer to convey the intense emotion I felt over my newfound self-respect. It was a rehabilitation, if not a new life. This imaginary baptism, the immersion in purity, the elevation of my being above the filth in which I'd been mired and, overnight, this sense of responsibility, made me into a different man. The convict's complexes that make him hear his chains and suspect he's being watched even after he's freed, everything I'd seen, gone through, suffered, everything that was making me tarnished, rotten and dangerous, passively obedient on the surface but terribly dangerous in rebellion, all that had disappeared as if by a miracle.”
Henri Charrière, Papillon

Primo Levi
“It is lucky that it is not windy today. Strange, how in some way one always has the impression of being fortunate, how some chance happening perhaps infinitesimal, stops us crossing the threshold of despair and allows us to live. It is raining, but it is not windy.”
Primo Levi, Survival in Auschwitz
