"Enjoying every line! Some may find the writing gross, and a little too candid in expressing sexual encounters in the most coarse terms possible. It is certainly not pornographic. Gold nuggets of philosophy can be mined from his ruminations after hangovers, and ejaculations! Good stuff! A page turner!" Apr 22, 2025 02:16PM

W. Somerset Maugham
“The great tragedy of life is not that men perish, but that they cease to love.”
W. Somerset Maugham

Rainer Maria Rilke
“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
Rainer Maria Rilke

J.M. Barrie
“To die will be an awfully big adventure.”
J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

Georges Bataille
“The need to go astray, to be destroyed, is an extremely private, distant, passionate, turbulent truth.”
Georges Bataille

Oscar Wilde
“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”
Oscar Wilde
