"Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth." - Fyodor Dostoevsky

"If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe" - Carl Sagan

"It would be better if there were nothing. Since there is more pain than pleasure on earth, every satisfaction is only transitory, creating new desires and new distresses, and the agony of the devoured animal is always far greater than the pleasure of the devourer" - Arthur Schopenhauer

"Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is enlightenment." - Lao Tzu

 

[Trashcan]

"The so-called 'psychotically depressed' person who tries to kill herself doesn't do so out of quote 'hopelessness' or any abstract conviction that life's assets and debits do not square. And surely not because death seems suddenly appealing. The person in whom Its invisible agony reaches a certain unendurable level will kill herself the same way a trapped person will eventually jump from the window of a burning high-rise. Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire's flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It's not desiring the fall; it's terror of the flames. And yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling 'Don't!' and 'Hang on!', can understand the jump. Not really. You'd have to have personally been trapped and felt flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling."- David Foster Wallace

"After a year of therapy, my psychiatrist said to me, "Maybe life isn't for everyone." - Larry Brown

"When you believe you have a future, you think in terms of generations and years. When you do not, you live not just by the day — but by the minute. It is far better that you remember me as I was—in my heyday as a best-selling author—than the wild-eyed wreck who returned from Louisville. ... Each breath is becoming difficult for me to take—the anxiety can be compared to drowning in an open sea. I know that my actions will transfer some of this pain to others, indeed those who love me the most. Please forgive me."
—Suicide note of Iris Chang

 

[blueming]

That's all life is, it's this 'nothingness'. If you were to just do nothing but live, I am sure you would go mad. Because you have to do something, anything - it's impossible to just be alive. That's why we've invented all these fickle things to distract us. To distract us from life. We have to keep ourselves busy because we're all so in denial of the nothingness that goes on.
- Slavoj Žižek

 

[worldexploder]

Since our mothers had the absolute right to bring us into this world, we, as adults should have the absolute right to take ourselves out of it. We never signed a contract or gave consent to be here – therefore we should be under no obligation to stay.

- Me

 

[Voldmort]

whoever eats the fruit of knowledge is always expelled from a paradise
- Melanie Klein (?)

"The human race is but a monotonous affair. Most of them labour the greater part of their time for mere subsistence; and the scanty portion of freedom which remains to them so troubles them that they use every exertion to get rid of it. Oh, the destiny of man!" - The Sorrows of Young Werther

EDIT: On second thought, I'll post more from my collection.

The saddest thing in the world, is loving someone who used to love you.

The reason scars don't heal when we try to forget, is because trying to forget makes use remember them.

You'll only realize that you truly love someone if they already caused you enormous pain. Your enemies can never hurt you the way your loved ones can. It's the people close to your heart that can give you the most piercing wound. Love is a double-edged sword, it can heal the wound faster or it can sink the blade even deeper.

People need to be told they're worthy of being alive by someone else or they can't go on.

Someone has to be cursed to balance out a wish for someone else's happiness.

We're so obsessed with finding someone to love us, because we need to feel like we matter to someone, when we can't matter to ourselves.

and lastly : How do we forgive ourselves, for all the things we did not become? ( The last sentence of someone's suicide note.)

"I wondered how it'd be like when I died, what it'd be like to know this breath now was the last one you was ever gonna draw. I just hope I can meet it the same way she did, with the same... calm. 'Cause that's where it's hidden - the immortality I hadn't seen."
—Private Witt, The Thin Red Line
