Emil M. Cioran
“Good health is the best weapon against religion. Healthy bodies and healthy minds have never been shaken by religious fears.”
Emil Cioran, Tears and Saints

Arthur Schopenhauer
“If life — the craving for which is the very essence of our being — were possessed of any positive intrinsic value, there would be no such thing as boredom at all: mere existence would satisfy us in itself, and we should want for nothing.”
Arthur Schopenhauer, The Vanity of Existence

Emil M. Cioran
“I don’t understand why we must do things in this world, why we must have friends and aspirations, hopes and dreams. Wouldn’t it be better to retreat to a faraway corner of the world, where all its noise and complications would be heard no more? Then we could renounce culture and ambitions; we would lose everything and gain nothing; for what is there to be gained from this world?”
Emil Cioran, On the Heights of Despair

Samuel Beckett
“Nothing happens. Nobody comes, nobody goes. It's awful.”
Samuel Beckett, Waiting for Godot

Stephen Fry
“It's not all bad. Heightened self-consciousness, apartness, an inability to join in, physical shame and self-loathing—they are not all bad. Those devils have been my angels. Without them I would never have disappeared into language, literature, the mind, laughter and all the mad intensities that made and unmade me.”
Stephen Fry, Moab Is My Washpot
