I searched modern fiction and poetry for clues to how we confronted and evaded reality, how we articulated our experience and turned to language not to revel ourselves but to hide.

To hurt them by jealousy, I mean, and to hurt myself at the same time. Pleasure and pain, an equal mingling of pleasure and pain, just as an experiment, a rare sensation? Daphne du Maurier
And so, onwards... along a path of wisdom, with a hearty tread, a hearty confidence.. however you may be, be your own source of experience. Throw off your discontent about your nature. Forgive yourself your own self. You have it in your power to merge everything you have lived through- false starts, errors, delusions, passions, your loves and your hopes- into your goal, with nothing left over. Friedrich Nietzsche
Haruki Murakami quote: "Even from whatever miserable experience you might have, there..."
Even from whatever miserable experience you might have, there is something to be learned. Haruki Murakami
I know from my own experience that suicide is not what it seems. Too easy to try to piece together the fragmented life. The spirit torn in bits so that the body follows. Jeanette Winterson
Nicholas Sparks quote: "his wartime experience had taught him to trust his instincts,..."
...his wartime experience had taught him to trust his instincts, even though he'd never been sure where they'd come from. Nicholas Sparks
Martin Amis quote: "But before we face experience, that miserable enemy, let us..."
But before we face experience, that miserable enemy, let us have some more innocence, just for a while. Martin Amis
Too unconcerned to love and too passionless to hate, too detached to be selfish and too lifeless to be unselfish, too indifferent to experience joy and too cold to express sorrow, they are neither dead nor alive; they merely exist. Martin Luther King jr.
