“Die Menschenordnung gleicht dem Kosmos darin, daß sie von Zeit zu Zeiten, um sich von neuem zu gebären, ins Feuer tauchen muß.”
― Ernst Jünger, On the Marble Cliffs

“Leave us alone without books and we shall be lost and in confusion at once. We shall not know what to join on to, what to cling to, what to love and what to hate, what to respect and what to despise. We are oppressed at being men -- men with a real individual body and blood, we are ashamed of it, we think it a disgrace and try to contrive to be some sort of impossible generalised man. We are stillborn, and for generations past have been begotten, not by living fathers, and that suits us better and better. We are developing a taste for it. Soon we shall contrive to be born somehow from an idea. But enough; I don't want to write more from "Underground.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground, White Nights, The Dream of a Ridiculous Man, and Selections from The House of the Dead

“Years of love have been forgot, In the hatred of a minute.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Complete Stories and Poems

“Thou art a boil, a plague sore, an embossed carbuncle in my corrupted blood.”
― William Shakespeare, King Lear
