"Wise is the man who contents himself with the spectacle of the world." - The Book of Disquiet "The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd: the longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are." - The Book of Disquiet "We worship perfection because we can't have it; if we had it, we would reject it. Perfection is inhuman, because humanity is imperfect." - The Book of Disquiet |
