Quotes

  • What makes a nightmare nightmarish is the sense that something is happening that should not be. While nightmares are the most convenient reference point for this sense of the impossible, the unthinkable, as something that is actually happening, it is not restricted to our sleeping hours.
  • Nothing belongs to us. Everything is something that is rented out. Our very heads are filled with rented ideas passed on from one generation to the next.
  • It has always seemed to me that my existence consisted purely and exclusively of nothing but the most outrageous nonsense.
  • You lie in the bed,an arm full of tubes,a mind full of drugs,but still thinking.You see the figureenter the quiet roomand you lift your armand focus your mind.You ask the doctor,if it can be arranged,that your last daynot be your worst day.
  • Madness, chaos, bone-deep mayhem, devastation of innumerable souls—while we scream and perish, History licks a finger and turns the page.
  • Look at your body—A painted puppet, a poor toyOf jointed parts ready to collapse,A diseased and suffering thingWith a head full of false imaginings.
