“Human existence is a penal colony; a sexually transmitted disease; a disappointment; nothing but suffering; “a sky-dive: out of a cunt into the grave”; a one-way ticket to the crematorium. “Nobody gets out of here alive”. Every day is a grim passage, a struggle through moments and hours of loneliness, boredom, emptiness, and self-loathing. I count myself among the pessimists. I believe that life is suffering. I force myself (my contraself) to look at other positions, but this remains my default. More specifically, I am a depressive realist.”
Colin Feltham, Keeping Ourselves in the Dark

Oyinkan Braithwaite
“The most loving parents and relatives commit murder with smiles on their faces. They force us to destroy the person we really are: a subtle kind of murder.”
Oyinkan Braithwaite, My Sister, the Serial Killer

Albert Camus
“You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.”
Albert Camus, Notebooks, 1935-1951

T.S. Eliot
“Books. Cats. Life is good.”
T.S. Eliot

Nina Simone
“The people that built their heaven on your land are telling you yours is in the sky”
Nina Simone
