Fyodor Dostoevsky
“You all, healthy people, can’t imagine the happiness which we
epileptics feel during the second before our fit... I don’t know if this
felicity lasts for seconds, hours or months, but believe me, I would not
exchange it for all the joys that life may bring.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Hilton Als
“For black people, being around white people is sometimes like taking care of babies you don't like, babies who throw up on you again and again, but whom you cannot punish, because they're babies.”
Hilton Als, White Girls

Yukio Mishima
“It was the sea that made me begin thinking secretly about love more than anything else; you know, a love worth dying for, or a love that consumes you. To a man locked up in a steel ship all the time, the sea is too much like a woman. Things like her lulls and storms, or her caprice, or the beauty of her breast reflecting the setting sun, are all obvious. More than that, you’re in a ship that mounts the sea and rides her and yet is constantly denied her. It’s the old saw about miles and miles of lovely water and you can’t quench your thirst. Nature surrounds a sailor with all these elements so like a woman and yet he is kept as far as a man can be from her warm, living body. That’s where the problem begins, right there—I’m sure of it.”
Yukio Mishima, The Sailor Who Fell from Grace With the Sea

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
“How mutable are our feelings, and how strange is that clinging love we have of life even in the excess of misery!”
Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

Chuck Palahniuk
“All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Invisible Monsters
