“You and your beauty’s world!
They say imagination is always ahead of the dream,
So I imagine about you, your ways, your sweet smile, and then I retire into a dream,
Where you are the imagination, you are the reality,
Where I sleep in the palpable wonder of your beauty,
And whenever I wake up in these endless projections of your beauty,
I feel within me the rush of your beauty and its sanctity,
Then when I have reposed in it for long enough,
I imagine again and indulge in the imaginary bluff,
Where you are cast in the mirror of my life and now you reflect everywhere,
Easily everywhere because in this world there is no here and no there,
It is always everywhere although you are just somewhere,
Because it does not matter as long as your beauty and you are there, just there,
Then who cares whether it is left or right, up or down, East or West,
For me in your presence everything appears to be in a state nothing short of the best,
So it is this world, your world, your beauty’s world where you are installed in every atom and its every element,
And even God wonders what is this new, but such a wonderful element!”

“You and your husband have, I think, been very fortunate to know so little, by experience, in your own case or in that of your friends, of the wicked recklessness with which people repeat things to the disadvantage of others, without a thought as to whether they have grounds for asserting what they say. I have met with a good deal of utter misrepresentation of that kind. And another result of my experience is the conviction that the opinion of "people" in general is absolutely worthless as a test of right and wrong. The only two tests I now apply to such a question as the having some particular girl-friend as a guest are, first, my own conscience, to settle whether I feel it to be entirely innocent and right, in the sight of God; secondly, the parents of my friend, to settle whether I have their full approval for what I do. You need not be shocked at my being spoken against. Anybody, who is spoken about at all, is sure to be spoken against by somebody: and any action, however innocent in itself, is liable, and not at all unlikely, to be blamed by somebody. If you limit your actions in life to things that nobody can possibly find fault with, you will not do much”

“You and your scars. Please! You don't kill youself like this!" I gesture, holding a wrist turned up to the ceiling, then pretending to cut across it with my other hand. "That's just a cry for help. That's just attention. Everbody knows that. Cutting across just gets you to the hospital. That's just from movies and TV shows and stuff like that. You didn't really try to kill yourself. you just wanted attention, but you screwed up. Try harder next time.”

“You and your stupid spotted dick can just go to hell.”
He froze. “My spotted...what? Shit.” He glanced wildly around the room before hissing, “I’m going to kill her.”
When his face drained of color, I frowned. “Huh?”
He didn’t even hear my question as he ranted on to himself. “I cannot believe Blondie told you about that.” His gaze seared into mine, suddenly intense and desperate. “And it’s not spotted like there’s a bunch of dots. It’s one fucking birthmark. That’s it.”

“You and your thoughts!
The vagueness of the future, the memories of yesterday and the promises of today,
Remind me of you, everyday, and whenever it is today,
In the last moment of wakeful mind before falling asleep,
It is you I think of and you I dream of when I am fast asleep,
In the view of the busy and at times relaxed world and the perspectives thereof,
I look for you in everything, in its corners, in its open spaces, and live off the memories thereof,
In the mind’s silence and in the heart’s endless beatings to keep kissing life,
I listen to them both while thinking of you in my every passing moment of life,
In the present that rushes to meet the future and shorten my span of dreams and desires,
I smile silently because it does not know my life is but an endless bloom of your memories and your desires,
In this moment while I am thinking of you Irma and my mind weaves a tapestry of known feelings,
I wish you knew, I wish you realised, that all of them are our feelings, those beautiful bygone feelings,
In the moments when I exist and yet feel maybe I don’t at all belong in the present,
I roll my memories, I wrap my desires, and I slumber in the past, where you and your feelings are the only present!
In this state I never realise when it is midday, when it is night and when it is today,
Because now you become my only dream, my only memory, my only feeling and an everlasting today!”

“You ape, you're teasing me so as to get the better of me. Shut up, you can't understand anything. If there is no God, then l am God.
You know, I never was able to understand this particular point of yours: why should you be God?'
If God exists, then all will is his, and I can't escape his will. If he does not exist, then all will is mine, and I am obliged to proclaim self-will.
'Self-will? And why are you obliged?'
'Because all will has become mine. Can it really be that no one on this entire planet, once having put an end to God and having developed a belief in self-will, will dare to proclaim self-will, in the fullest possible sense? It's like a poor man who's received an inheritance and is frightened by it and doesn't dare come near the bag full of money, regarding himself as too feeble to possess it. I want to proclaim self-will. Even if I'm the only one, I'll do it.'
'So go ahead and do it.'
I am obliged to shoot myself because my self-will in the fullest possible sense for me is to kill myself.
"But look, you're not the only one to kill yourself; there are many suicides."
"With good reason. But to do it without any reason, solely for self-will, I'm the only one.'
'You know what,' he observed irritably, "if I were in your place, to show self-will I would kill someone else, and not myself. You could become useful. I'll show you who, if you're not afraid. Then perhaps you won't have to shoot yourself today. We could reach an understanding."
"To kill someone else would be the lowest point of my self-will, and that's where you reveal who you are completely. I'm not you: I want the highest point, and I'll kill myself."
'He's worked this out all by himself,' Pyotr Stepanovich muttered angrily.
I am obliged to proclaim disbelief,' Kirillov was walking about the room. 'For me there is no higher idea than the non- existence of God. Human history is behind me. Man has done nothing but invent God in order to live without killing himself; that's the essence of world history to this point. I am the only one in world history who hasn't felt like inventing God for the allow first time. Let people find that out once and for all.”

“You apologize for
how you carry your
mother's loneliness
quietly
between your teeth.
You apologize for
how you carry your
father's sins
inside your blood.
You forgot
how to carry yourself
away for the histories
that threatens to break you
open, leaving you with grief
and unbearable weight of emptiness.
Tell me, apart from the sadness
thick as smog
living inside your chest
tell me the last time
you held your face
and saw love
staring back at you.
How does destroying yourself prove your worth to others?”
