Osamu Dazai
“no thought in the world is worse than the realization that, “My life is a nuisance to others. I am useless.”
Osamu Dazai, パンドラの匣

Brandon Sanderson
“Yes, yes. Aim for the sun. That way if you miss, at least your arrow will fall far away, and the person it kills will likely be someone you don't know.”
Brandon Sanderson

Ryūnosuke Akutagawa
“It's not so much that I want to die as that I'm tired of living.”
Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, The Life of a Stupid Man

Brandon Sanderson
“Please,” Shallan said to the sphere. “I need you to become fire.”
Pattern buzzed, speaking with a new voice, interpreting the sphere’s words. “I am a stick,” he said. He sounded satisfied.
“You could be fire,” Shallan said.
“I am a stick.”
The stick was not particularly eloquent. She supposed that she shouldn’t be surprised.
“Why don’t you become fire instead?”
“I am a stick.”
“How do I make it change?” Shallan asked of Pattern.
“Mm . . . I do not know. You must persuade it. Offer it truths, I think?” He sounded agitated. “This place is dangerous for you. For us. Please. Speed.”
She looked back at the stick.
“You want to burn.”
“I am a stick.”
“Think how much fun it would be?”
“I am a stick.”
“Stormlight,” Shallan said. “You could have it! All that I’m holding.”
A pause. Finally, “I am a stick.”
“Sticks need Stormlight. For . . . things . . .” Shallan blinked away tears of fatigue.
“I am—”
“—a stick,” Shallan said.”
Brandon Sanderson, Words of Radiance

Osamu Dazai
“It seems that when people are in a state of euphoria, they don’t always notice the suffering of others.”
Osamu Dazai, Blue Bamboo: Japanese Tales of Fantasy
