Michel Houellebecq
“Anything can happen in life, especially nothing.”
Michel Houellebecq, Platform

Ernest Dowson
“I am not sorrowful but I am tired
Of everything that I ever desired.”
Ernest Dowson

Eugene Thacker
“The logic of pessimism moves through three refusals: a no-saying to the worst (refusal of the world-for-us, or Schopenhauer’s tears); a yes-saying to the worst (refusal of the world-in-itself, or Nietzsche’s laughter); and a no-saying to the for-us and the in-itself (a double refusal, or Cioran’s sleep).

Crying, laughing, sleeping—what other responses are adequate to a life that is so indifferent?”
Eugene Thacker, Cosmic Pessimism

Fernando Pessoa
“Give me some more wine, because life is nothing.”
Fernando Pessoa, Poems of Fernando Pessoa

Emil M. Cioran
“To get up in the morning, wash and then wait for some unforeseen variety of dread or depression.
I would give the whole universe and all of Shakespeare for a grain of ataraxy.”
Emil Cioran, The Trouble With Being Born
