Eugene Thacker
“Happiness is the feeling you have just before something goes wrong.”
Eugene Thacker, Infinite Resignation

“Our existence is a lifelong quest for death. A sane species would have accepted this fact before inventing the mind-bogglingly pointless concept of "eternal life.”
Andre Solnikkar, The Spirituality of Terror

Franz Kafka
“I am dead and despise anyone who isn’t”
Franz Kafka

Paula D. Ashe
“Pain is the source of all matter. It is the force that holds the universe together, that will tear it apart, only to rebuild again. Throughout the ages, humanity asks over and over again “why are we here?” and then pretends as if the Void does not bellow the answer back every single time. We are here to hurt each other. Again, and again, and again, in perpetuity.”
Paula D. Ashe, We Are Here to Hurt Each Other

Philipp Mainländer
“But at the bottom, the immanent philosopher sees in the entire universe only the deepest longing for absolute annihilation, and it is as if he clearly hears the call that permeates all spheres of heaven: Redemption! Redemption! Death to our life! and the comforting answer: you will all find annihilation and be redeemed!”
Philipp Mainländer, Die Philosophie der Erlösung
