“The capacity for deluding ourselves that today's reality is the only true one, on the one hand, sustains us, but on the other, it plunges us into an endless void, because today's reality is destined to prove delusion for us tomorrow; and life doesn't conclude. It can't conclude. Tomorrow if it concludes, it's finished.”
― Luigi Pirandello, One, No One, and One Hundred Thousand

“A story is not finished, until it has taken the worst turn”
― Friedrich Dürrenmatt, The Physicists

“Literature is the most agreeable way of ignoring life.”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

“If we want things to stay as they are, things will have to change.”
― Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa , The Leopard
