“Hatred strikes me as one of the few signs of life remaining in the world. This is another thing about the world which is upsidedown: all the friendly and likable people seem dead to me; only the haters seem alive.” PeopleWorldSeemsAliveHatredStrikesFriendlyMy HatersSigns Of Life Book:The Moviegoer Source: The Moviegoer
“They all think any minute I'm going to commit suicide. What a joke. The truth of course is the exact opposite: suicide is the only thing that keeps me alive. Whenever everything else fails, all I have to do is consider suicide and in two seconds I'm as cheerful as a nitwit. But if I could not kill myself -- ah then, I would. I can do without nembutal or murder mysteries but not without suicide.” IfsThinkingI CanTwoCoursesCan DoAliveFailingMysteryMinutesJokesOppositesMurderSuicideCommitIf I CouldSecondsCheerfulMurder Mysteries Book:The Moviegoer Source: The Moviegoer
“The difference between a non-suicide and an ex-suicide leaving the house for work, at eight o'clock on an ordinary morning: The non-suicide is a little traveling suck of care, sucking care with him from the past and being sucked toward care in the future. His breath is high in his chest. The ex-suicide opens his front door, sits down on the steps, and laughs. Since he has the option of being dead, he has nothing to lose by being alive. It is good to be alive. He goes to work because he doesn't have to.” LittlesCarePastHouseLosesDifferencesStepsMorningLaughingAliveDoorsFrontsOrdinaryBreathsSuicideLeavingEightClockChestsExesNothing To LoseFront Doors Book:Lost in the Cosmos: The Last Self-Help Book Source: Lost in the Cosmos: The Last Self-Help Book
