the history of melancholia includes all of us.

but as God said, crossing his legs, I see where I have made plenty of poets but not so very much poetry.

This is very important -- to take leisure time. Pace is the essence. Without stopping entirely and doing nothing at all for great periods, you're gonna lose everything...just to do nothing at all, very, very important. And how many people do this in modern society? Very few. That's why they're all totally mad, frustrated, angry and hateful.

Let it die. Let there be a new beginning. It’s awful. Goodnight.

There's a light somewhere. It may not be much light but it beats the darkness.

Why did I come here? I thought. Why is it always only a matter of choosing between something bad and something worse?

This incompleteness is all we have.
