“Cu cât cunoşti un om mai bine şi mai mult,cu atât eşti mai aproape de o fatală despărţire de el.Cunoaşterea detaşează fiinţa de alta şi anulează grăuntele de mister ce se află în orice existenţă,cât de plată ar fi ea.Oamenii rezistă atât de puţin cunoaşterii,încât după scurt timp prezenţa lor este o oboseală şi o iritare.Orice cunoaştere aduce o oboseală,un dezgust de fiinţă,o detaşare,deoarece orice cunoaştere este o pierdere,o pierdere în fiinţă,în existenţă.”
― Emil Cioran, Cartea amăgirilor

“O light! This is the cry of all the characters of ancient drama brought face to face with their fate. This last resort was ours, too, and I knew it now. In the middle of winter I at last discovered that there was in me an invincible summer.”
― Albert Camus, L’été

“I expect nothing of man, and disown the race. The only folly is expecting what is never attained; man is most contemptible when compared with his own pretensions. It is better to laugh at man from outside the universe, than to weep for him within.”
― H. P. Lovecraft

“Look at your body— A painted puppet, a poor toy Of jointed parts ready to collapse, A diseased and suffering thing With a head full of false imaginings. —The Dhammapada”

“I am a free man—and I need my freedom. I need to be alone. I need to ponder my shame and my despair in seclusion; I need the sunshine and the paving stones of the streets without companions, without conversation, face to face with myself, with only the music of my heart for company. What do you want of me? When I have something to say, I put it in print. When I have something to give, I give it. Your prying curiosity turns my stomach! Your compliments humiliate me! Your tea poisons me! I owe nothing to any one. I would be responsible to God alone—if He existed!”
― Giovanni Papini, Un uomo finito
