Thomas Pynchon
“Shall I project a world?”
Thomas Pynchon, The Crying of Lot 49

Jorge Luis Borges
“You have wakened not out of sleep, but into a prior dream, and that dream lies within another, and so on, to infinity, which is the number of grains of sand. The path that you are to take is endless, and you will die before you have truly awakened.”
Jorge Luis Borges

Samuel Beckett
“The tears stream down my cheeks from my unblinking eyes. What makes me weep so? There is nothing saddening here. Perhaps it is liquefied brain.”
Samuel Beckett, The Unnamable

Samuel Beckett
“there is [...]
a last even of last times of saying
if you do not love me I shall not be loved
if I do not love you I shall not love”
Samuel Beckett, Cascando and Other Short Dramatic Pieces

Aldous Huxley
“Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn't nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand.”
Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
