Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

Sylvia Plath
“I don't know what it is like to not have deep emotions. Even when I feel nothing, I feel it completely”
Sylvia Plath

Yukio Mishima
“When a boy… discovers that he is more given into introspection and consciousness of self than other boys his age, he easily falls into the error of believing it is because he is more mature than they. This was certainly a mistake in my case. Rather, it was because the other boys had no such need of understanding themselves as I had: they could be their natural selves, whereas I was to play a part, a fact that would require considerable understanding and study. So it was not my maturity but my sense of uneasiness, my uncertainty that was forcing me to gain control over my consciousness. Because such consciousness was simply a steppingstone to aberration and my present thinking was nothing but uncertain and haphazard guesswork.”
Yukio Mishima, Confessions of a Mask
