"but at the bottom, the immanent philosopher sees in the entire universe only the deepest longing for absolute annihilation, and it is as if he clearly hears the call that permeats all spheres of heaven: redemption! redemption! death to our life! and the comforting answer: you will all find annihilation and be redeemed!"
- philipp mainländer
"but in grief we do not claw our chests
we do not tear our clothes
we do not gnash our teeth, for though it lasts as long as it possibly can
there is no suffering
and there is no lack of suffering
no joy
no lack of joy
there is no cause
and no cause of causes.
god, the great pitier,
is not present to keep the tally or write your name
there is no death
because there is no life."
- dan barrett
