“Optimists may have fugitive doubts about the basic desirability of existence, but pessimists never doubt that existence is basically undesirable.

Why should you dread your death?”
― Andre Solnikkar, Pestilentia Innamorata

“It is a great misunderstanding to want to discover something worth living for.”
― Shichirō Fukazawa

“Memories, monsters, they are in our blood, and theirs are the faces we find staring back at us in broken mirrors.”
