Fernando Pessoa
“I look at myself but I'm missing. I know myself: it’s not me.”
Fernando Pessoa

“I think solitude is a really positive thing. I cherish solitude immensely. In today’s society, there’s so much pressure to communicate, eat out, be friends with people. Why can’t you read a book on your own? Why have you got to have a book club?”
Nicky Wire

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Suffering is part and parcel of extensive intelligence and a feeling heart.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment

Edward Gorey
“I have given up considering happiness as relevant.”
Edward Gorey

Gilles Deleuze
“A tyrant institutionalises stupidity, but he is the first servant of his own system and the first to be installed within it.”
Gilles Deleuze, Difference and Repetition
