Arthur Schopenhauer
“Life swings like a pendulum backward and forward between pain and boredom.”
Arthur Schopenhauer

Emil M. Cioran
“The same feeling of not belonging, of futility, wherever I go: I pretend interest in what matters nothing to me, I bestir myself mechanically or out of charity, without ever being caught up, without ever being somewhere. What attracts me is elsewhere, and I don’t know where that elsewhere is.”
Emil M. Cioran, The Trouble With Being Born

René Girard
“The more one approaches madness, the more one equally approaches the truth, and if one does not fall into the former, one must end up necessarily in the latter.”
René Girard, Resurrection from the Underground: Feodor Dostoevsky

Peter Wessel Zapffe
“To bear children into this world is like carrying wood to a burning house.”
Peter Wessel Zapffe

Abū al-ʿAlāʾ al-Maʿarrī
“Some people are like an open grave:
You give it the thing you love most
And then get nothing in return.”
Abu al-Ala al-Ma'arri, Birds Through a Ceiling of Alabaster: Three Abbasid Poets
