“I have many secrets. I stud them in my poems and I toss them in the air of language. Someone has to expose them.”

“Above all, do not lie to yourself. A man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point where he does not discern any truth either in himself or anywhere around him, and thus falls into disrespect towards himself and others. Not respecting anyone, he ceases to love, and having no love, he gives himself up to passions and coarse pleasures, in order to occupy and amuse himself, and in his vices reaches complete bestiality, and it all comes from lying continually to others and to himself.”
— Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
“Writing is a strange, inhuman function, a reflection of the inhumanity of language itself. Through writing, language, which is a domestic species, becomes a wild one again.”
— Jean Baudrillard, Cool Memories V

“The soul always knows what to do to heal itself, the challenge is to silence the mind.”
— Book of serenity
“The devil will do everything and anything to hinder us from fidelity to prayer. An hour of prayer poorly spent, but done with regularity and fidelity, is more valuable than rare sublime moments.”

“If you want to overcome the whole world, overcome yourself.”
— Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“Do external things distract you? Then make time for yourself to learn something worthwhile; stop letting yourself be pulled in all directions. But make sure you guard against the other kind of confusion. People who labor all their lives but have no purpose to direct every thought and impulse toward are wasting their time — even when hard at work.”
— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations (2.7)
life is a web of both small and large melancholies but it also contains grace and friendship
this from the guy who wrote the sting pain index, a scale he constructed after letting himself be stung by insects
“why did i start this list” pleaseeeeeee this is so funny
his descriptions were extremely on-point, and frankly inspiring when writing a hurt/comfort scene
