If I lived by the sea I would never be really sad. I get an immense sense of eternity and peace from the ocean. I can lose myself in staring at it hour after hour.

— Sylvia Plath, from a letter to Aurelia Plath written c. July 1951 (via violentwavesofemotion)

Nicht das Sein bedrängt mich oder das Nichts oder Gott oder die Abwesenheit Gottes, nur die Gesellschaft; denn sie und nur sie hat mir die existentielle Gleichgewichtsstörung verursacht, gegen die ich aufrechten Gang durchzusetzen versuche. Sie und nur sie hat mir das Weltvertrauen genommen.“

(Jean Améry: Jenseits von Schuld und Sühne: Bewältigungsversuche eines Überwältigten. München: Szeszny 1966, S. 158.)

english translation: 

“It is not Being that oppresses me, or Nothingness, or God, or the Absence of God, only society. For it and only it caused the disturbance in my existential balance, which I am trying to oppose with an upright gait. It and only it robbed me of my trust in the world.”

I did nothing else. I took you as you took unused nature and celebrated it twenty-four times in forests and seas. I took you in the same shiver that inverted the words and left them beyond like open and irreplaceable shells. I took you as a companion in lightning, in awe, in instinct.

— Odysseus Elytis, from The Collected Poems; “The Concert of Hyacinths,”

“You should only play when you’re sure to win"

(Source: kimnovaks, via violentwavesofemotion)

I am astonished, disappointed, pleased with myself. I am
distressed, depressed, rapturous. I am all these things at once, and cannot add up the sum. I am incapable of determining ultimate worth or worthlessness; I have no judgment about myself and my life. There is nothing I am quite sure about. I have no definite convictions not about anything, really. I know only that I was born and exist, and it seems to me that I have been carried along. I exist on the foundation of something I do not know.

It’s unfortunate and I really wish I wouldn’t have to say this, but I really like human beings who have suffered. They’re kinder.
