"Reading TSD is like having really great sex: you never, ever want it to end and take short little breaks just to keep it going.

Oscar Wilde
“You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

José Ángel Mañas
“The sun is high and I’m surrounded by sand.
For as far as my eyes can see
I’m strapped into a rocking chair
With a blanket over my knees
I am a stranger to myself
And nobody knows I’m here
When I looked into my face
It wasn’t myself I’d seen
But who I’ve tried to be.
I’m thinking of things I’d hoped to forget.
I’m choking to death in a sun that never sets.
I clugged up my mind with perpetual grief
And turned all my friends into enemies
And now that past has returned to haunt me.

I’M SCARED OF GOD AND SCARED OF HELL
AND I’M CAVING IN UPON MYSELF
HOW CAN ANYONE KNOW ME
WHEN I DON’T EVEN KNOW MYSELF”
José Ángel Mañas

Franz Kafka
“Now I can look at you in peace; I don't eat you any more.”
Franz Kafka

Logan Pearsall Smith
“People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading.”
Logan Pearsall Smith

George Steiner
“Books - the best antidote against the marsh-gas of boredom and vacuity.”
George Steiner
