“It is absolutely necessary, for the peace and safety of mankind, that some of earth's dark, dead corners and unplumbed depths be left alone; lest sleeping abnormalities wake to resurgent life, and blasphemously surviving nightmares squirm and splash out of their black lairs to newer and wider conquests.”
― H.P. Lovecraft, At the Mountains of Madness and Other Tales of Terror

“As a fact, we cannot give suffering precedence in either our individual or collective lives. We have to get on with things, and those who give precedence to suffering will be left behind. They fetter us with their sniveling. We have someplace to go and must believe we can get there, wherever that may be. And to conceive that there is a 'brotherhood of suffering between everything alive' would disable us from getting anywhere. We are preoccupied with the good life, and step by step are working toward a better life. What we do, as a conscious species, is set markers for ourselves. Once we reach one marker, we advance to the next — as if we were playing a board game we think will never end, despite the fact that it will, like it or not. And if you are too conscious of not liking it, then you may conceive of yourself as a biological paradox that cannot live with its consciousness and cannot live without it. And in so living and not living, you take your place with the undead and the human puppet.”
― Thomas Ligotti, The Conspiracy Against the Human Race

“The night is dark and full of terrors.”

“Bırak doktor şu psikanalizi... Allah belasını versin! Biz şimdi rakı içiyoruz.' Doktor Ramiz derhal psikanalizi bırakıyor ve hemen onun yerini istakozu alıyor. Doğrusunu isterseniz, on senedir, onunla beraber olduğumuz zamanlarda benim de yapmak istediğim hep bu idi. Fakat beni davet ettiği meyhanelerde, masanın üstünde psikanalizden başka ağza konacak doğru dürüst bir şey bulunmazdı.”
― Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar, Saatleri Ayarlama Enstitüsü
