Emil M. Cioran
“How good would it be if one could die by throwing oneself into an infinite void.”
Emil Cioran, On the Heights of Despair

Emil M. Cioran
“For animals, life is all there is; for man, life is a question mark. An irreversible question mark, for man has never found, nor will ever find, any answers. Life not only has no meaning; it can never have one.”
Emil Cioran, On the Heights of Despair

Johnny Rich
“He thought of hanging himself, to pass the time.”
Johnny Rich, The Human Script

Albert Camus

Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays

James Knowlson, Beckett Remembering/Remembering Beckett: A Centenary Celebration
