"For what is man without desires,

without free will,
and without the power of choice
but a stop in an organ pipe?"
(Fyodor Dostoevsky)

"The underground man is a creature

with lots of questions about himself,
unmerciful, unpleasant and burning questions,
which can not be resisted or avoided,
because these questions are pointing
on the meaning and purpose of life,
the human mission and his destiny,
and touching the bottom of
the mystery of our actions,
the limit of any evidence.

There are huge inner fights
of contradictions
and crush of disonant feelings
of unknown origin and meaning
within the underground man."

"Man can not live without illusions,

illusions retain him a hope.
The moment one sees reality
without illusions,
he realizes that it is absurd,
as absurd as his life."

"If our life is unhappy it is painful to bear;

if it is happy it is horrible to lose,
So the one is pretty equal to the other."
(Jean de la Bruyere)

"When You Were Born

You Cried
and the World was Happy,

When You Died
You Were Happy
and the World Cried."
