“Whereas many people can find happiness by partaking in the ordinary trappings of life, creative people are especially susceptible to enduring an existential crisis, feeling that their life is aimless, irrational, and intolerably painful, especially when they are at an artistic impasse. The impelling act of using their imagination to create enduring artistic testaments is perhaps their only method to blunt the fateful feeling that it is useless to continue living in a world where life has no ultimate meaning, value, and purpose.”
Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

H.P. Lovecraft
“West of Arkham the hills rise wild, and there are valleys with deep woods that no axe has ever cut.”
H.P. Lovecraft, The Colour Out of Space and others

Eraldo Banovac
“Wealth and power aren't the most important things in life. What is truly important is to have a clear conscience.”
Eraldo Banovac

“It makes me think. Maybe the only meaning to life is that which we get from each other.”
Mark Russell, The Flintstones, Vol. 1

Erik Pevernagie
“If we are able to convey ‘meaning’ to things and to actions, we may dominate part of the obscure world of ignorance. When we try to give sense to our life, we can come to ‘awareness’ and fill some of the numerous black holes of witlessness in our thinking. We may, then, defy and dam the existential void, down the stretch. ("Not without my shadow")”
Erik Pevernagie
