Cormac McCarthy
“I always believed there was a God. I just never did like him.”
Cormac McCarthy, Suttree

Fernando Pessoa
“All ideals and all ambitions are a hysteria of prattling women posing as men. No empire justifies breaking a child’s doll. No ideal is worth the sacrifice of a toy train. What empire is useful or what ideal profitable? It’s all humanity, and humanity is always the same — variable but unimprovable, with fluctuations but unprogressive.”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

David Hume
“While we are reasoning concerning life, life is gone; and death, though perhaps they receive him differently, yet treats alike the fool and the philosopher.”
David Hume, On Suicide

Giacomo Leopardi
“One should never make a show of one’s unhappiness: Good fortune alone creates good fortune among men, misfortune was never fortunate, and you cannot traffic in misery, or draw benefit from it, when it is real. No one was ever more respected or more appreciated by being more unhappy than others. And therefore it is expedient for the unfortunate one, if he wants to be well received and accepted, or to be liked, not only to hide his misfortunes but to pretend to be numbered among the fortunate, to assert this claim, to combat the rumor or anyone who challenges him on it, and take great pains to deceive others on this point.”
Giacomo Leopardi, Zibaldone

Giacomo Leopardi
“To enjoy life, a state of despair is necessary.”
Giacomo Leopardi, Zibaldone
