“We are no guiltier

in following

the primative impulses

that govern us

than is the Nile

for her floods

or the sea

for her waves.”

― Marquis de Sade, Aline et Valcour

“I cannot make you understand.

I cannot make anyone understand
what is happening inside me.
I cannot even explain it to myself.”
 

— Franz Kafka, The Metamorphosis

"So you think
you can stone me
and spit in my eye

So you think
you can love me
and leave me to die
Oh baby -
can't do this to me baby
I just gotta get out -
just gotta get right outta here..."

"I can't bear the thought

that many hundreds

of millions of people

dying in agony

only and solely

because the rulers

of the world

are stupid and wicked."

-- Bertrand Russell

"Poison is in everything,

and no thing

is without poison.

The dosage makes it

either a poison

or a remedy."

- Paracelsus
