Well finish your story anyway."Where was I?"The bubonic plague. The bulldozer was stalled by corpses."Oh, yes. Anyway, one sleepless night I stayed up with Father while he worked. It was all we could do to find a live patient to treat. In bed after bed after bed we found dead people. And Father started giggling," Castle continued. He couldn't stop. He walked out into the night with his flashlight. He was still giggling. He was making the flashlight beam dance over all the dead people stacked... Kurt Vonnegut
[T]hus one should not think that desire is repressed, for the simple reason that the law is what constitutes both desire and the lack on which it is predicated.

Wise people say it is folly to think anyboy perfect, and as to likes and diskiles, we should be friendly to all, and worship none. Charlotte Bronte
Good resolutions are useless attempts to interfere with scientific laws. Their origin is pure vanity. Their result is absolutely nil. They give us, now and then, some of those luxurious sterile emotions that have a certain charm for the weak.... They are simply cheques that men draw on a bank where they have no account. Oscar Wilde

I've drawn myself apart from them all; I am my own skipper and later on I shall see where I come to land Anne Frank
The world's decay where the wind's hands have passed, And my head, worn out with love, at rest In my hands, and my hands full of dust. Ted Hughes
Pleasure always means not to think about anything, to forget suffering even where it is shown. Basically it is helplessness. It is flight; not, as is asserted, flight from a wretched reality, but from the last remaining thought of resistance. Theodor Adorno
Lady Undmiel," said Aragorn, "the hour is indeed hard, yet it was made even in that day when we met under the white birches in the garden of Elrond where none now walk. And on the hill of Cerin Amroth when we forsook both the Shadow and the Twilight this doom we accepted. J. R. R. Tolkien
Lewis Carroll quote: "If you don't know where you are going any road can take you there"
If you don't know where you are going any road can take you there Lewis Carroll
The night is quiet. Like a camp before battle. The city beset by a thing unknown and will it come from forest or sea? The murengers have walled the pale, the gates are shut, but lo the thing's inside and can you guess his shape? Where he's kept or what's the counter of his face? Is he a weaver, bloody shuttle shot through a time warp, a carder of souls from the world's nap? Or a hunter with hounds or do bone horses draw his dead cart through the streets and does he call his trade to each?... Cormac McCarthy
Yasunari Kawabata quote: "Perhaps they don't realize where they were, so they went on..."
Perhaps they don't realize where they were, so they went on living. Yasunari Kawabata
