"At the present time, I long only to sleep and to remain silent. I am sick of humanity."

- Albert Camus

"Now I have neither happiness nor unhappiness.

Everything passes.

Everything passes."

- No Longer Human, Dazai Osamu

"Whenever I was asked what I wanted my first impulse was to answer "Nothing." The thought went through my mind that it didn't make any difference, that nothing was going to make me happy."

"For someone like myself in whom the ability to trust others is so cracked and broken that I am wretchedly timid and am forever trying to read the expression on people's faces."

"all the women in me are tired."
