“Anxiety. It owns us but leaves no trace.”
― Fredrik Backman, Us Against You

“Nothing seemed really real. Sleeping, waking, it all collided into one gray, monotonous plane ride through the clouds. I didn't talk to myself in my head. There wasn't much to say. This was how I knew the sleep was having an effect: I was growing less and less attached to life. If I kept going, I thought, I'd disappear completely, then reappear in some new form. This was my hope. This was my dream.”
― Ottessa Moshfegh, My Year of Rest and Relaxation

“It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

“Sabe, Virgínia, vejo Laura como aquele espelho
despedaçado: a gente pode ir lá no fundo e colar os cacos, mas tudo então que ele vier a refletir, o céu, as árvores, as pessoas, tudo, tudo estará como ele próprio, partido em mil pedaços. Veja bem, triste não é o que possa vir a acontecer...
A morte, por exemplo. Triste é o que está acontecendo neste instante. Ela tem a cabeça doente, o coração doente. E não há remédio. Só o sopro lá dentro é que continua perfeito como o espelho antes de cair no chão.”
― Lygia Fagundes Telles, Ciranda de Pedra
