“I am simply not interested, at this point, in creating narrative scenes between characters.”
― Lydia Davis

“When you were called, did you answer or did you not? Perhaps softly and in a whisper?”
― Soren Kierkegaard, Fear and Trembling

“Give up yourself, and you will find your real self. Lose your life and you will save it. Submit to death, death of your ambitions and favorite wishes every day and death of your whole body in the end submit with ever fiber of your being, and you will find eternal life. Keep back nothing. Nothing that you have not given away will be really yours. Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead. Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

“The weakness of my position does not imply a strengthening of yours.”
― Sigmund Freud, The Future of an Illusion
