Albert Camus
“There is no love of life without despair of life.”
Albert Camus, Lyrical and Critical Essays

V.S. Naipaul
“How terrible it would have been, at this time, to be without it; to have died among the Tulsis, amid the squalour of that large, disintegrating and indifferent family; to have left Shama and the children among them, in one room; or worse, to have lived without even attempting to lay claim to one’s portion of the earth; to have lived and died as one had been born, unnecessary and unaccommodated.”
V.S. Naipaul, A House for Mr Biswas

Friedrich Nietzsche
“What do you consider the most humane? - To spare someone shame. What is the seal of liberation? - To no longer be ashamed in front of oneself.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science: With a Prelude in Rhymes and an Appendix of Songs

Georges Perec
“To write: to try meticulously to retain something, to cause something to survive; to wrest a few precise scraps from the void as it grows, to leave somewhere a furrow, a trace, a mark or a few signs.”
Georges Perec, Species of Spaces and Other Pieces

John Cheever
“I know some people who are afraid to write a business letter because they will encounter and reveal themselves.”
John Cheever, The Journals of John Cheever
