After having struggled madly

 to solve all problems, after having suffered on the heights of despair, in the supreme hour of revelation, you will find that the only answer, the only reality, is silence.

~Emil Cioran.

 

 

 

“Whoever wants music instead of noise, joy instead of pleasure, soul instead of gold, creative work instead of business, passion instead of foolery, finds no home in this trivial world of ours.”

~ Herman Hesse

 

 

 

“I have a sense that God is unfair

and preferentially punishes 

his weak, his dumb, his fat, his lazy.

I believe he takes more pleasure in his perfect creatures, and cheers them on like a brainless dad as they run roughshod over the rest of us.

He gives us a need for love, and no way to get any.

He gives us a desire to be liked, and personal attributes that make us utterly unlikable.

Having placed his flawed and needy children in a world of exacting specifications, he deducts the difference between what we have and what we need from our hearts and our self-esteem and our mental health.”

― George Saunders, CivilWarLand in Bad Decline
