“And with every step I took it became more impossible for me to turn back. And my mind was empty—or it was as though my mind had become one enormous, anaesthetized wound. I thought only, One day I'll weep for this. One of these days I'll start to cry.”
― James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room

“Come, pain, feed on me. Bury your fangs in my flesh. Tear me asunder.
I sob, I sob.”
― Virginia Woolf, The Waves

“It just made me wonder just how much we're all connected, how we touch each other without even knowing it. And when we're lucky, we do.”
― Crystal Chan, Bird

“I think I could stand anything, any suffering, only to be able to say and to repeat to myself every moment, 'I exist.' In thousands of agonies -- I exist. I'm tormented on the rack -- but I exist! Though I sit alone in a pillar -- I exist! I see the sun, and if I don't see the sun, I know it's there. And there's a whole life in that, in knowing that the sun is there.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
