Masha

“They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.”
― Philip Larkin, High Windows

“Some things are more precious because they don't last long.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

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

“I remained too much inside my head and ended up losing my mind”
― Edgar Allen Poe
