“Youth is an intoxication without wine, someone says. Life is an intoxication. The only sober man is the melancholiac, who, disenchanted, looks at life, sees it as it really is, and cuts his throat. If this be so, I want to be very drunk. The great thing is to live, to clutch at our existence and race away with it in some great and enthralling pursuit. Above all, I must beware of all ultimate questions- they are too maddeningly unanswerable- let me eschew philosophy and burn Omar.”
― W.N.P. Barbellion, The Journal of a Disappointed Man

“Let’s call my mood melancholy; let’s call it remembrance. Or maybe let’s call it longing. Yes, let’s call it longing instead.”
― Shannon Celebi, Small Town Demons

“When it comes to you
I can’t help myself
I’ve never been this
attached
to someone’s flaws”
― Audrey Rey

“Solitude appeared to me as the only fit state of man.”
― Walter Benjamin
