“We forget that we are all dead men conversing with dead men.”
― Jorge Luis Borges, The Book of Sand & Shakespeare's Memory

“I have wanted to kill myself a hundred times, but somehow I am still in love with life. This ridiculous weakness is perhaps one of our more stupid melancholy propensities, for is there anything more stupid than to be eager to go on carrying a burden which one would gladly throw away, to loathe one’s very being and yet to hold it fast, to fondle the snake that devours us until it has eaten our hearts away?”
― Voltaire, Candide, or, Optimism

“Martin in particular concluded that man was born to live either in the convulsions of misery, or in the lethargy of boredom.”
― Voltaire, Candide

“We want ecstasy as a way of life, not a liver-poisoning alcoholiday from it.”
― Crimethinc, Anarchy and Alcohol
