Abyr Bathory

“To hope for nothing, to expect nothing, to demand nothing. This is analytical despair.”
― James Hillman, Suicide and the Soul

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

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

“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
