“I've never seen a world
So festering with damnation. I have left

But each time I thought I was on the way
To a faintly festive hiccup
The sight of the damned world sobered me up again.”
― Christopher Fry

“It is enough for me to hear someone talk sincerely about ideals, about the future, about philosophy, to hear him say “we" with a certain inflection of assurance, to hear him invoke "others" and regard himself as their interpreter - for me to consider him my enemy.”
― E. M. Cioran

“You must torment people with your artistic delight, scaring mother and grandmother in the middle of the night.”
