Carl Panzram
“I am sorry for only two things. These two things are: I am sorry that I have mistreated some few animals in my lifetime, and I am sorry that I am unable to murder the whole damned human race.”
Carl Panzram

Stephen Crane
“Many workmen Built a huge ball of masonry Upon a mountain-top. Then they went to the valley below, And turned to behold their work. "It is grand," they said; They loved the thing. Of a sudden, it moved: It came upon them swiftly; It crushed them all to blood. But some had opportunity to squeal.”
Stephen Crane, The Black Riders and Other Lines

Jacques Lacan
“If a man who thinks he is a king is mad, a king who thinks he is a king is no less so.”
Jacques Lacan, Écrits

Tristan Tzara
“Let us try for once not to be right”
Tristan Tzara

“The Cheery and the Damned

I think it is because, at a societal level, we are deluded into thinking that happiness is possible, maybe even easy or likely, without these things. I have called this "cheery social policy.”
Sarah Perry, Every Cradle is a Grave: Rethinking the Ethics of Birth and Suicide
