So, we take walks and we work and we go to movies and basketball games and church and we Exist in our nothing lives and when we die a speech is made and we are forgotten once again, only more permanently this time.” LifeDeathHorrorMeaning Of LifeNihilismHorror PoetryNihilism Quotes Book:Street Poems Source: Street Poems
“Happiness, I decided years ago, is unattainable and I don’t wish to seek it through the usual methods. Peace is a reflection of our souls, leaving me a non-entity. I cry because people want to feel and I join them in their fears and private agonies and I wish for death and pray for life and hope to God that God even gives a shit and before I die and receive my judgment I just want to help 1 person FEEL, to know what it is to be alive and to ease their suffering as only a tormented soul can.” GodHappinessDeathSufferingFearPeacePrayerSouls Book:Industrial Madness Source: Industrial Madness
