“I feel as if things are falling apart within me, like so many glass partitions shattering. I walk from place to place in the grip of a fury, needing to act, yet can do nothing about it because any attempt seems doomed in advance. Failure, everywhere failure. Only suicide hovers above me, gleaming and inaccessible.” IfsFeelsSeemsFallCan DoWalksSuicideGlassesDoomedFalling ApartFuryInaccessibleShatteringPartition Book:Whatever Source: Whatever

“To the end, I will remain a child of Europe, of worry and of shame. I have no message of hope to deliver. For the West, I do not feel hatred. At most I feel a great contempt. I know only that every single one of us reeks of selfishness, masochism and death. We have created a system in which it has simply become impossible to live, and what's more, we continue to export it.” KnowsFeelsChildrenEndsWorryImpossibleMessagesEuropeHatredShameWestSelfishnessContemptMasochismMessage Of Hope Book:Platform: A Novel Source: Platform: A Novel
“Without beauty a girl is unhappy because she has missed her chance to be loved. People do not jeer at her, they are not cruel to her, but it is as if she were invisible, no eyes follow her as she walks. People feel uncomfortable when they are with her. They find it easier to ignore her. A girl who is exceptionally beautiful, on the other hand, who has something which too far surpasses the customary seductive freshness of adolescence, appears somehow unreal. Great beauty seems invariably to portend some tragic fate.” PeopleIfsFeelsHandsSeemsEyeBeautifulGirlChanceWalksFateEasierInvisibleUnhappyUncomfortableTragicAdolescenceUnrealSeductiveFreshnessTragic Fate Book:The Elementary Particles Source: The Elementary Particles
