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

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

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

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
“Memories are killing. So you must not think of certain things, of those that are dear to you, or rather you must think of them, for if you don’t there is the danger of finding them, in your mind, little by little.”
Samuel Beckett
