Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“I have so much in me, and the feeling for her absorbs it all; I have so much, and without her it all comes to nothing.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, The Sorrows of Young Werther

Leopold von Sacher-Masoch
“Love knows no virtue, no profit; it loves and forgives and suffers
everything, because it must. It is not our judgment that leads us;
it is neither the advantages nor the faults which we discover, that
make us abandon ourselves, or that repel us.

It is a sweet, soft, enigmatic power that drives us on. We cease to
think, to feel, to will; we let ourselves be carried away by it, and
ask not whither?”
Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Venus in Furs

Vicente Huidobro
“Y mientras que el ensueño pertenece a todo el mundo, el delirio sólo pertenece a los poetas.”
Vicente Huidobro, Manifest/Manifestos

Roland Barthes
“Either woe or well-being, sometimes I have a craving to be engulfed. This morning (in the country), the weather is mild, overcast. I am suffering (from some incident). The notion of suicide occurs to me…Another day, in the rain, we’re waiting for the boat at the lake; from happiness, this time, the same outburst of annihilation sweeps through me.”
Roland Barthes, A Lover's Discourse: Fragments

Anton Chekhov
“I am a man of cultivation; I have studied various remarkable books, but I cannot fathom the direction of my preferences; do I want to live or do I want to shoot myself, so to speak? But in order to be ready for all contingencies, I always carry a revolver in my pocket.”
Anton Chekhov, The Cherry Orchard
