“Yes -- or rather, it's not so much that I want to die as that I'm tired of living.”

“All I feel are the assaults of apprehension and terror at the thought that I am the only one who is entirely unlike the rest. It is almost impossible for me to converse with other people. What should I talk about, how should I say it? - I don't know.”

“Now I have neither happiness nor unhappiness.

Everything passes.”
― Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human
