“Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.”
― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.”
― Edgar Allan Poe

“You cannot find peace by avoiding life.”
― Michael Cunningham, The Hours
