gptkbp:famous_quote I want to be a part of the world.
I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what I am.
The decisive moment in human evolution is perpetual.
All language is but a poor translation.
The meaning of life is that it ends.
A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.
You are free, and that is why you are lost.
A non-writing writer is a monster courting insanity.
In the fight between you and the world, back the world.
I have the true feeling of myself only when I am unbearably unhappy.
A book should be the axe for the frozen sea within us.
" A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us."
" All language is but a poor translation."
" I am a cage, in search of a bird."
" The meaning of life is that it ends."
" In the fight between you and the world, back the world."
I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even understand it myself.
The meaning of life is that it stops.
I have spent all my life resisting the desire to end it.
There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.
I am a cage, in search of a bird.
