“One can't found a novel theology on Nothing, and nothing is so secure a foundation as a contradiction. Look at the great successes of the past--they say their deities are the masters of all universes, and yet they require grandmothers to defend them, as if they were children frightened by poultry. Or that the authority that punishes no one while there exists a chance for reformation will punish everyone when there is no possibility anyone will become better for it.”
― Gene Wolfe, The Shadow of the Torturer

“We must die as egos and be born again in the swarm, not separate and self-hypnotized, but individual and related.”
― Henry Miller, Sexus

“I needed to write, to express myself through written language not only so that others might hear me but so that I could hear myself.”
― Gabor Maté, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction

“What do you do from morning to night?"

"I endure myself.”
― Emil Cioran, The Trouble With Being Born
