We are so lonely in life that we must ask ourselves if the loneliness of dying is not a symbol of our human existence. Emile M. Cioran
As far as I am concerned, I resign from humanity. I no longer want to be, nor can still be, a man. What should I do? Work for a social and political system, make a girl miserable?

We would not be interested in human beings if we did not have the hope of someday meeting someone worse off than ourselves. Emile M. Cioran
