1 " Nevertheless, some free time remains. What’s to be done? How do you use your time? In dedicating yourself to helping people? But basically other people don’t interest you. Listening to records? That used to be a solution, but as the years go by you have to say that music moves you less and less. Taken in its widest sense, a spot of do-it-yourself can be a way out. But the fact is that nothing can halt the ever-increasing recurrence of those moments when your total isolation, the sensation of an all-consuming emptiness, the foreboding that your existence is nearing a painful and definitive end all combine to plunge you into a state of real suffering. "
― Michel Houellebecq , Whatever
2 " Despite my pain, I felt not the regret of an ending, but the foreboding of a beginning. "
― Robin Hobb , Fool's Errand (Tawny Man, #1)
