“Monsters, monsters! But there are no monsters! What you call monsters are superior forms, or forms beyond your understanding. Aren't the gods monsters? Isn't a man of genius a monster, like a tiger or a spider, like all individuals who live beyond social lies, in the dazzling and divine immortality of things? Why, I too then-am a monster!”
― Octave Mirbeau, Torture Garden

“The world had become an arctic prison from which no escape was possible, all its creatures trapped as securely as were the trees, already lifeless inside their deadly resplendent armour.”
― Anna Kavan, Ice

“But is it true love, in the rectum?”
― Samuel Beckett, Molloy

“Thou shalt not ask!” Don’t get to the bottom of things: if you do, you yourself will founder.
Don’t seek the truth: you won’t find it and will lose yourself. “Thou shalt not ask!” The amount
of truth that is beneficial will come to you with no effort; it’s mixed with delusions and lies,
but that’s for the sake of your health—in pure form it would burn your insides. Don’t try to
cleanse your soul of lies—many other things will be lost, too, things you haven’t considered.
You’ll lose your bearings and everything that’s dear to you. “Thou shalt not ask!”
― Hjalmar Söderberg (Doctor Glas), Doctor Glas
