George R.R. Martin
“The night was strangely beautiful. The moon was a graceful crescent, and it seemed as though he had never seen so many stars […] How can such a night be beautiful? he asked himself. Why would the stars want to look down on such as me?”
George R.R. Martin, A Storm of Swords

Pier Paolo Pasolini
“I think it is necessary to educate the new generations in the value of defeat. In not being a social climber. In this world of vulgar and dishonest winners, of false prevaricators, in the face of this anthropology of the winner from afar I prefer the one who loses.”
Pier Paolo Pasolini

Jean-Paul Sartre
“I have led a toothless life, he thought. A toothless life. I have never bitten into anything. I was waiting. I was reserving myself for later on—and I have just noticed that my teeth have gone.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, The Age of Reason

Andrea Dworkin
“She’s got the mark of Cain on her; he does not. All the sympathy tilts toward him, and he has an unchangeable kind of credibility with which he was born. To ruin his life with a charge of rape is heinous - more heinous than the rape.”
Andrea Dworkin, Heartbreak: The Political Memoir of a Feminist Militant

Chris Kraus
“Crying leads you through concentric rings of sadness. You close your eyes and travel outwards through a vortex that draws you towards the saddest thing of all. And the saddest thing of all isn’t anything but sadness. It’s too big to see or name. Approaching it’s like seeing God. It makes you crazy. Because as you fall you start to feel yourself approaching someplace from which it will not be possible to retrace your steps back out — it’s much too large and ancient. There are too many parts of other people it in for one person to absorb. Grief is information.”
Chris Kraus, Aliens & Anorexia
