Søren Kierkegaard
“With every increase in the degree of consciousness, and in proportion to that increase, the intensity of despair increases: the more consciousness the more intense the despair”
Søren Kierkegaard, The Sickness Unto Death: A Christian Psychological Exposition for Upbuilding and Awakening

H.P. Lovecraft
“It is hard to explain just how a single sight of a tangible object with measurable dimensions could so shake and change a man; and we may only say that there is about certain outlines and entities a power of symbolism and suggestion which acts frightfully on a sensitive thinker’s perspective and whispers terrible hints of obscure cosmic relationships and unnamable realities behind the protective illusions of common vision.”
H.P. Lovecraft, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward

Northrop Frye
“It is impossible to think of an ideal human life except as an alternation of individual and social life, as equally a belonging and an escape.”
Northrop Frye, The Great Code: The Bible and Literature

Camille Paglia
“The only way to teach focus is to present the eye with opportunities for steady perception—best supplied by the contemplation of art. Looking at art requires stillness and receptivity, which realign our senses and produce a magical tranquillity.”
Camille Paglia, Glittering Images: A Journey Through Art from Egypt to Star Wars

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“He did not know that the new life would not be given him for nothing, that he would have to pay dearly for it, that it would cost him great striving, great suffering.

But that is the beginning of a new story - the story of the gradual renewal of a man, the story of his gradual regeneration, of his passing from one world into another, of his initiation into a new unknown life.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment
