Osamu Dazai
“The weak fear happiness itself. They can harm themselves on cotton wool. Sometimes they are wounded even by happiness”
Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human

J.D. Salinger
“I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be. I know it's crazy.”
J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

Jorge Luis Borges
“All things left her, all
But one. Her highborn courtliness
Accompanied her to the end,
Beyond the rapture and its eclipse,
In a way like an angel's. Of Elvira
The first thing that I saw - such years ago -
Was her smile and also it was the last.”
Jorge Luis Borges, Dreamtigers

Fernando Pessoa
“Life is what we make of it. Travel is the traveler. What we see isn't what we see but what we are.”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

Osamu Dazai
“I thought, “I want to die. I want to die more than ever before. There’s no chance now of a recovery. No matter what sort of thing I do, no matter what I do, it’s sure to be a failure, just a final coating applied to my shame. That dream of going on bicycles to see a waterfall framed in summer leaves—it was not for the likes of me. All that can happen now is that one foul, humiliating sin will be piled on another, and my sufferings will become only the more acute. I want to die. I must die. Living itself is the source of sin.”
Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human
