David Foster Wallace
“It is a level of psychic pain wholly incompatible with human life as we know it. It is a sense of radical and thoroughgoing evil not just as a feature but as the essence of conscious existence. It is a sense of poisoning that pervades the self at the self’s most elementary levels. It is a nausea of the cells and soul.”
David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

David Foster Wallace
“[The entire text of Infinite Jest.]”
David Foster Wallace

Blaise Pascal
“There are only two kinds of men: the righteous who think they are sinners and the sinners who think they are righteous.”
Blaise Pascal, Pensées

Yukio Mishima
“Time is what matters. As time goes by, you and I will be carried inexorably into the mainstream of our period, even though we’re unaware of what it is. And later, when they say that young men in the early Taisho era thought, dressed, talked, in such and such a way, they’ll be talking about you and me. We’ll all be lumped together…. In a few decades, people will see you and the people you despise as one and the same, a single entity.”
Yukio Mishima, Spring Snow

Yukio Mishima
“Possessing by letting go of things was a secret of ownership unknown to youth.”
Yukio Mishima
