Fyodor Dostoevsky
“People talk sometimes of a bestial cruelty, but that's a great injustice and insult to the beasts; a beast can never be so cruel as a man, so artistically cruel. The tiger only tears and gnaws, that's all he can do. He would never think of nailing people by the ears, even if he were able to do it.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

Leopold von Sacher-Masoch
“You have corrupted my imagination and inflamed my blood...”
Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Venus in Furs

David Sheff
“In his suicide note, Kurt Cobain wrote, "It's better to burn out than to fade away." He was quoting a Neil Young song about Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols. When I was twenty-four, I interviewed John Lennon. I asked him about this sentiment, one that pervades rock and roll. He took strong, outraged exception to it. "It's better to fade away like an old soldier than to burn out, " he said. "I worship people who survive. I'll take the living and the healthy.”
David Sheff, Beautiful Boy: A Father's Journey Through His Son's Addiction

Michael Cunningham
“Man," he said, "I'm not afraid of graveyards. The dead are just, you know, people who wanted the same things you and I want."
"What do we want?" I asked blurrily.
"Aw, man, you know," he said. "We just want, well, the same things these people wanted."
"What was that?"
He shrugged. "To live, I guess," he said.”
Michael Cunningham, A Home at the End of the World

Michael Cunningham
“Perhaps, in the extravagance of youth, we give away our devotions easily and all but arbitrarily, on the mistaken assumption that we’ll always have more to give.”
Michael Cunningham, A Home at the End of the World
