Jacqueline Carey
“It's funny how despair can soon become an old companion”
Jacqueline Carey, Kushiel's Dart

Gustave Flaubert
“I go dreaming into the future, where I see nothing, nothing. I have no plans, no idea, no project, and, what is worse, no ambition. Something – the eternal ‘what’s the use?’ – sets its bronze barrier across every avenue that I open up in the realm of hypothesis.”
Gustave Flaubert, Flaubert in Egypt

Anthony Swofford
“My despair is less despair than boredom and loneliness.”
Anthony Swofford, Jarhead: a Marine's Chronicle of the Gulf War and Other Battles

John Clare
“Into the nothingness of scorn and noise,
Into the living sea of waking dreams,
Where there is neither sense of life or joys,
But the vast shipwreck of my life’s esteems;
Even the dearest that I loved the best
Are strange—nay, rather, stranger than the rest.”
John Clare, "I Am": The Selected Poetry of John Clare

Evelyn Waugh
“There's only one great evil in the world today. Despair.”
Evelyn Waugh, Vile Bodies
