Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Is this some kind of joke?"

"That's for me to know and you to find out."

"Maybe you think it's funny to put up signs about people who want to commit suicide."

"Are you about to?"

"And what if I was?"

"I wouldn't tell you the gorgeous reasons I have discovered for going on living."

"What would you do?"

"I'd ask you to name the rock-bottom price you'd charge to go on living for just one more week.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater

― Solomon Northup, 12 Years a Slave

Bret Easton Ellis
“Is evil something you are? Or is it something you do?”
― Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho

Vladimir Nabokov
“...for the human brain can become the best torture house of all those it has invented, established and used in a millions of years, in millions of lands, on millions of howling creatures.”
― Vladimir Nabokov, Ada, or Ardor: A Family Chronicle

“I ask no paradise on high, With cares on earth oppressed,
The only heaven for which I sigh, Is rest, eternal rest.”
