“Pylades: I’ll take care of you.
Orestes: It’s rotten work.
Pylades: Not to me. Not if it’s you.”
― Anne Carson, Euripides

“My heart filled with emotion, but I was in such anguish that the tears would not come. I wondered if the feeling I experienced then was what people mean by the well-worn phrase 'dignity of human life'.”
― Osamu Dazai, The Setting Sun

“Unhappiness. There are all kinds of unhappy people in the world. I suppose it would be no exaggeration to say that the world is composed entirely of unhappy people. But those people can fight their unhappiness with society fairly and squarly, and society for its part easily understands and sympathizes with such struggles. My unhappiness stemmed entirely from my own vices, and I had no way of fighting anybody.”
― Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human

“Everywere life is resurgent, but I've been colonized by death, I've seen too many dying people to be able to enjoy this summer as everything starts over again, human death has occupied my thoughts like a gnawing rat, and nothing can help them if they don't want to remember the war, the last years of my service in the Wermacht, or anything at all.”
― Drago Jančar, To noč sem jo videl
