“In short: I felt my existence was tainted, in some subtle but essential way.”

“I wanted to explain myself to myself in an understandable way. I gave shape to my fears and made excuses. I varied my velocities, watched myselves sleep. Something's not right about what I'm doing but I'm still doing it-- living in the worst parts, ruining myself. My inner life is a sheet of black glass. If I fell through the floor I would keep falling.
The enormity of my desire disgusts me.”
― Richard Siken, War of the Foxes

“How difficult it is for any of us to listen to our own voice or maintain our own beliefs in the presence of others.”
― Tom Schulman, Dead Poets Society

“They danced wildly in the forest, swaying with the tall trees and the howling wind.”
― Kleinbaum N.H., le cercle des poetes disparus""
