George Orwell
“Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness.”
George Orwell

Bret Easton Ellis
“There’s no use in denying it: this has been a bad week. I’ve started drinking my own urine.”
Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho

Donald Ray Pollock
“I'm beginning to believe that anything I do to extend my life is just going to be outweighed by the agony of living it.”
Donald Ray Pollock, Knockemstiff

Irvine Welsh
“We start off with high hopes, then we bottle it. We realise that we’re all going to die, without really finding out the big answers. We develop all those long-winded ideas which just interpret the reality of our lives in different ways, without really extending our body of worthwhile knowledge, about the big things, the real things. Basically, we live a short disappointing life; and then we die. We fill up our lives with shite, things like careers and relationships to delude ourselves that it isn’t all totally pointless.”
Irvine Welsh, Trainspotting

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different.”
Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country
