Rikki Ducornet
“What are books but tangible dreams? What is reading if it is not dreaming? The best books cause us to dream; the rest are not worth reading.”
― Rikki Ducornet, The Fan-Maker's Inquisition: A Novel of the Marquis de Sade

Emil M. Cioran
“In every man sleeps a prophet, and when he wakes there is a little more evil in the world.”
― Emil Cioran

Friedrich Nietzsche
“But the worst enemy you can meet will always be yourself; you lie in wait for yourself in caverns and forests. Lonely one, you are going the way to yourself! And your way goes past yourself, and past your seven devils! You will be a heretic to yourself and witch and soothsayer and fool and doubter and unholy one and villain. You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame: how could you become new, if you had not first become ashes?”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Joséphin Péladan
“Covering oneself, surrounding oneself with shapes and colors that correspond to a plan, mean that that plan is beginning to be realized.”
― Josephin Peladan

Gene Wolfe
“People don't want other people to be people.”
― Gene Wolfe, Shadow & Claw
