― Ocean Vuong, Night Sky with Exit Wounds

“Suicide? Jesus Christ, just more work. I felt like sleeping for five years but they wouldn’t let me.”

“Consciousness, for instance, is infinitely superior to twice two makes four. Once you have mathematical certainty there is nothing left to do or to understand. There will be nothing left but to bottle up your five senses and plunge into contemplation. While if you stick to consciousness, even though the same result is attained, you can at least flog yourself at times, and that will, at any rate, liven you up. Reactionary as it is, corporal punishment is better than nothing.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Notes from the Underground

“I love you the way I love the sunset or the moonlight: I want the moment to remain, but all I want to possess in it is the sensation of possessing it.”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
