“A writer who writes, ''I am alone''... can be considered rather comical. It is comical for a man to recognize his solitude by addressing a reader and by using methods that prevent the individual from being alone. The word alone is just as general as the word bread. To pronounce it is to summon to oneself the presence of everything the word excludes.”
― Maurice Blanchot

“Any idiot can face a crisis; it's this day-to-day living that wears you out.”
― Anton Chekhov

“5 ianuarie. De două zile găsesc,ori de câte ori privesc în mine însumi,răceală,indiferenţă.În plimbarea de aseară,fiecare zgomot cât de mic al străzii,orice privire mi-era adresată,orice fotografie din vreo vitrină mi se păreau mai importante decât mine însumi.”
― Franz Kafka, Pagini de jurnal şi corespondenţă

“As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul…”
