"The true horror of existence is not the fear of death, but the fear of life. It is the fear of waking up each day to face the same struggles, the same disappointments, the same pain. It is the fear that nothing will ever change, that you are trapped in a cycle of suffering that you cannot escape. And in that fear, there is a desperation, a longing for something, anything, to break the monotony, to bring meaning to the endless repetition of days."

- Albert Camus, The Fall

Feliz é o destino da

inocente vestal!

Esquecendo o mundo,

e sendo por ele esquecida.

Brilho eterno de uma

mente sem lembranças.

Toda prece é ouvida,

toda graça se alcança.

- Alexander Pope

“Havia apenas ânsia de viver e medo, e desse temor, do estúpido temor pueril do frio, da solidão e da morte, duas pessoas corriam uma para a outra, beijavam-se, abraçavam-se, juntavam os rostos, entrelaçavam as pernas e lançavam novas criaturas no mundo. Era sempre assim.”

— Hermann Hesse, in ‘Klein e Wagner’
