“I suddenly felt that it didn't make any difference to me whether the world existed or whether there was nothing anywhere. I began to sense and feel with all my being that there was nothing around me. At first it seemed to me that there had been a great deal before, but then I perceived that there had been nothing before either, but that it had only seemed like that for some reason.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Dream of a Ridiculous Man

“Je me mis à rêver à un ennemi, la nuit, le jour. Et dans mes rêves l'immortalité et la morale se mélangèrent de façon telle que l'une ne fut bientôt plus discernable de l'autre.”
― Marguerite Duras, Hiroshima mon amour

“But what if all the quiet, the comfort, the contentement were now to end in horror?”
― Franz Kafka

“Il faut éviter de penser à ces difficultés que présente le monde, quelquefois. Sans ça, il deviendrait tout à fait irrespirable.”
― Marguerite Duras, Hiroshima mon amour
