Georges Bataille
“A kiss is the beginning of cannibalism.”
Georges Bataille

Emil M. Cioran
“I have never taken myself for a being. A non-citizen, a marginal type, a nothing who exists only by the excess, by the superabundance of his nothingness.”
Emil Cioran, The Trouble With Being Born

Gorgias of Leontini
“Nothing exists; even if something exists, nothing can be known about it; and even if something can be known about it, knowledge about it can't be communicated to others.”
Gorgias

Martin Heidegger
“...Dasein itself--and this means also its Being-in-the-world--gets its ontological understanding of itself in the first instance from those entities which it itself is not but which it encounters 'within' its world, and from the Being which they possess.”
Martin Heidegger, Being and Time

H.P. Lovecraft
“The basis of all true cosmic horror is violation of the order of nature, and the profoundest violations are always the least concrete and describable.”
H.P. Lovecraft, Selected Letters III: 1929-1931
