Gustave Flaubert
“¿De dónde venía aquella insatisfacción de la vida, aquella instantánea corrupción de las cosas en las que se apoyaba?...”
Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary

Michel Houellebecq
“la nostalgia no es un sentimiento estético, ni siquiera está ligada al recuerdo de la felicidad, se siente nostalgia de un lugar simplemente porque uno ha vivido allí, poco importa si bien o mal, el pasado siempre es bonito, y también el futuro, sólo duele el presente y cargamos con él como un absceso de sufrimiento que nos acompaña entre dos infinitos de apacible felicidad.”
Michel Houellebecq, Sumisión

Carine McCandless
“Why can’t you just understand that not having a plan is my plan?” Chris implored. “I don’t know exactly where I’ll be. That’s the whole point, the freedom of it. I’ve been so structured with school and sports and work—everything has been scheduled and laid out for me. I just want to get out of that mundane existence and purely enjoy life for a while. I’ll decide on the fly where I want to go next.”
Carine McCandless, The Wild Truth: The secrets that drove Chris McCandless into the wild

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“I am a fool with a heart but no brains, and you are a fool with brains but no heart; and we’re both unhappy, and we both suffer.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Idiot

Bertrand Russell
“You find as you look around the world that every single bit of progress in humane feeling, every improvement in the criminal law, every step toward the diminution of war, every step toward better treatment of the colored races, or every mitigation of slavery, every moral progress that there has been in the world, has been consistently opposed by the organized churches of the world. I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world.”
Bertrand Russell, Why I Am Not a Christian
