Peter De Vries
“Man is inconsolable, thanks to that eternal "Why?" when there is no Why, that question mark twisted like a fishhook in the human heart.
"Let there be light," we cry, and only the dawn breaks.”
Peter De Vries

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“No young person on earth is so excellent in all respects as to need no uncritical love.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night

Alan W. Watts
“every individual is a unique manifestation of the Whole, as every branch is a particular outreaching of the tree.”
Alan Wilson Watts, The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are

Aldous Huxley
“But if one doesn't really exist, one wonders why..." she hesitated.
"Why one makes such a fuss about things," Anthony suggested. "All that howling and hurrahing and gnashing of teeth. About the adventures of a self that isn't really a self—just the result of a lot of accidents. And of course," he went on, "once you start wondering, you see at once that there is no reason for making such a fuss. And then you don't make a fuss—that is, if you're sensible. Like me," he added, smiling.”
Aldous Huxley, Eyeless in Gaza

Hermann Hesse
“Life is always frightful. We cannot help it and we are responsible all the same. One's born and at once one is guilty.”
Hermann Hesse, Steppenwolf
