Kōbō Abe
“Animal smell is beyond philosophy.”
Kōbō Abe, The Woman in the Dunes

Marcel Proust
“the comfort of reclusion, the poetry of hibernation”
Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way

Marcel Proust
“For what we suppose to be our love or our jealousy is never a single, continuous and indivisible passion. It is composed of an infinity of successive loves, of different jealousies, each of which is ephemeral, although by their uninterrupted multiplicity they give us the impression of continuity, the illusion of unity.”
Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way

Plato
“I thought to myself: I am wiser than this man; neither of us probably knows anything that is really good, but he thinks he has knowledge, when he has not, while I, having no knowledge, do not think I have.”
Plato, Apology

Albert Camus
“Under the fatal lighting of that destiny, its uselessness becomes evident. No code of ethics and no effort are justifiable a priori in the face of the cruel mathematics that command our condition.”
Albert Camus
