“I lived in pain because I chose to live in pain. Somewhere along the line, I fell in love with the idea of tragedy, the idea that I was destined to live a tragic life. I had this romantic idea about the life of a writer and what he was supposed to suffer. [...:] Somehow I made my own pain a kind of god.”
― Benjamin Alire Saenz, Last Night I Sang to the Monster

“I suffer from life and from other people. I can’t look at reality face to face. Even the sun discourages and depresses me. Only at night and all alone, withdrawn, forgotten and lost, with no connection to anything real or useful — only then do I find myself and feel comforted.”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

“الألم عابر ، يأتي ويرحل .. بينما ننسحق تماماً تحت مظلة الوجع المقيم، الجروح تلتئم، ولكن الأوجاع مزمنة تنخرُ في الروح .”
― عمرو صبحي, يوميات كهل صغير السن

“When will you learn that there isn't a word for everything?”
― Nicole Krauss, The History of Love
