Book cover for The Death of Ivan Ilych
He wept on account of his helplessness, his terrible loneliness, the cruelty of man, the cruelty of God, and the absence of God.

“A relationship is like a holiday from loneliness, beginning and ending in the same airport. The most awful thing about the end is that it reminds you so clearly of the beginning with the joy with which you set off. Everything is the same, yet everything has been inverted by grief.”
Louis BUSS, The Luxury of Exile

Graham Greene
“If one knew, he wondered, the facts,
would one have to pity even the planets? If one reached what they called the heart of the matter?”
Graham Greene, The Heart of the Matter

Margaret Atwood
“For if the world treats you well, Sir, you come to believe you are deserving of it.”
Margaret Atwood, Alias Grace

Juan Carlos Onetti
“I applaud the courage of he who accepts each and every one of the laws of a game he did not invent and was not asked if he wanted to play”
Juan Carlos Onetti, A Brief Life

Émile Zola
“He wept for truth which was dead, for heaven which was void. Beyond the marble walls and gleaming jewelled altars, the huge plaster Christ had no longer a single drop of blood in its veins.”
Émile Zola, Pot Luck
