“He: What’s the matter with you?

Me: Nothing.

Nothing was slowly clotting my arteries. Nothing slowly numbing my soul. Caught by nothing, saying nothing, nothingness becomes me. When I am nothing they will say surprised in the way that they are forever surprised, "but there was nothing the matter with her.”
― Jeanette Winterson, Gut Symmetries

“Farewell until eternity, where you and I shall not find ourselves together.”
― Comte de Lautréamont, Les Chants de Maldoror

“What is hell? Hell is oneself.
Hell is alone, the other figures in it
Merely projections. There is nothing to escape from
And nothing to escape to. One is always alone.”
― T.S. Eliot

“What did we do wrong?' The Physicists cry. But in exasperation, they are forced to give up. Their feelings border on despair. The more they search for the controlling factors, the more the factors elude them. Finally, they resign themselves--they cannot manipulate the universe; they are just victims of the universe.”
― Fred Alan Wolf
