“The only unbearable thing is that nothing is unbearable.”

What a life! True life is elsewhere. We are not in the world.

I understand, and not knowing how to express myself without pagan words, I’d rather remain silent.

Is it in these bottomless nights that you sleep in exile?

I shed more tears than God could ever have required.

I found I could extinguish all human hope from my soul.

As I descended into impassable rivers I no longer felt guided by the ferrymen.

I went out under the sky, Muse! and I was your vassal.

Whose hearts must I break? What lies must I maintain? – Through whose blood am I to wade ?

But the problem is to make the soul into a monster

I may die of earthly love, or of devotion.

Your memory and your senses will be nourishment for your creativity.

I am alone in possessing a key to this barbarous sideshow.

I believe that I am in hell, therefore I am there.

But, truly, I have wept too much! The Dawns are heartbreaking. Every moon is atrocious and every sun bitter.

I wrote silences; nights; I recorded the unnameable.

One evening I sat Beauty on my knees – And I found her bitter – And I reviled her.

I think the reason why I am who I am today is because I went through those tough times when I was younger.

One of the most difficult things is life is to continue running your hardest when you don’t know the end point.

All the ups and downs you’ve experienced in your life were only preparing you for what’s to come.  

One of the worst feeling in the world is wanting to do something and not being able to.

It is difficult to walk at one and the same time many paths of life.

We all know we have a finite period of time. I just feel if I’m going to be alive, I want to be challenged – to be as immortal as possible. The path to that isn’t an easy way, but it’s a rewarding way.

When you fall into hard problems, a lot of things fall into perspective.  

Everything you are experiencing in your life build you for what you asked for.
