“God has died, and his death was the life of the world.”
― Philipp Mainländer, Die Philosophie der Erlösung

“once I believed
love poems were foolish

now I read love poems
just for the sake of it

and yet perhaps I want
to reach a higher state of poetry

I don't know if that's right or wrong
but such a feeling persists anyway

and sometimes irritates me
provoking outrageous desires

once I believed
love poems were foolish

yet now I do nothing
but dream about love”
― Chūya Nakahara

“Do I not live? Badly, I know, but I live.”
― Sophocles, The Oresteia: Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, The Eumenides

“I am destroying myself so other people can’t," she said, "and it’s the worst kind of control but it’s the only form I know.”
― Sue Zhao
