« It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. » / « Ce n’est pas un signe de bonne santé mentale d’être bien adapté à une société malade. » Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986)




“If I was bound for hell let it be hell. No more false heavens. No more damned magic. You hate me and I hate you. We’ll see who hates best. I will destroy your hatred. My hate is colder, stronger, and you’ll have no hate to warm yourself. You will have nothing.”

———Jean Rhys

“A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free.”
