I am capable of love; it is humans who are incapable of obtaining it.

I longed so intensely to have been born in a different reality that I eventually forgot I even had such a desire, because it ceased to be a mere feeling and became the core of my identity.

If human beings were creatures who kept their surroundings clean, the job of cleaner would never have existed.

The name of the social science that focuses on society’s mechanisms should not have been sociology but zoology.

Closed and isolationist regimes are the only sane places left in the world, because they are not part of the global madness.

If the love between two people wants to make itself real, it must be willing to endure lovelessness from everyone else.

People are running from their thoughts, while I have drowned myself in mine. Every passing second I am certainly thinking of something. It never stops. And I’m not even complaining about it; it is not restlessness but rest that feels like death. Because I know this: if I stay still where I am, some betrayal inside me, one that perhaps never forgave me, will come and catch me, and thus this old friend from whom I’ve been fleeing, whose face I can no longer recognize, will overthrow the person I’ve become.

My feelings didn’t die; they simply grew too heavy to hand to another human, so I carried them alone. Over time, the carrying hardened into a personality. It’s like a machine on a factory line with an obstacle placed in its path. The machine keeps running, unaware, and everything it produces stacks up against that blockage. That’s how my feelings live inside me. They are as young as a starved baby or child from being denied, yet impossibly old and ancient from having that denial as their default. Now the real difficulty isn’t the obstacle itself, but the thought of removing it, because doing so would release the whole accumulated mass at once.

Y: “You are too silent. Why don’t you ever speak?”

X: “Shut your mouth and be silent, so that we may.”

A person who masturbates or has sexual intercourse realizes over time that the pleasure it brings turns into a habit. Thus, they begin to dream up new fantasies. They turn to new methods. In this way, their sexual world expands more and more, purely for this reason. Because they have become a slave to sexuality, which is an insatiable devourer. What they are actually doing is like trying to fill a chasm by pouring sand into it. I have always felt this way: the modern world fuels sexuality, and because it is built on pleasure—perhaps only for this reason—people assimilate into it and thus, become even more lustful. Yet this exploitation of sexuality is not natural but artificial, because the fact that sexuality has become so heavily in demand, this engineered obsession, is a human creation.

It is not revolutions that change the world, but a simple weather event—and it accomplishes in hours what would take years.

The brain and the heart are thought of as if separated by a rigid boundary. Yet these two can switch places or intertwine; there are souls who think with their hearts and feel with their brains, who express their emotions through their thoughts and their thoughts through their emotions.

While acting means forgetting, thinking means remembering. That is why insight is the enemy of movement.

― Atrona Grizel

Every external act undertaken stems from an internal cause whose head cannot be severed, or, in other words, is due to some sort of inability to silence oneself.

The most enduring pleasures are mental pleasures cultivated within the mind, untouched by the constant barrage of physical stimuli.

A confident person is often the least likely to embrace change, diversity, alternatives, and perspectives. Trust in oneself creates a sense of solidity, an attachment to the status quo. Yet, to transcend, the status quo must first be opposed. To evolve into someone different, perhaps into a “better” one, the current self must be erased.

My chronology is, as I think, clear: oppression leading to obedience, obedience leading to suffocation, suffocation leading to rebellion, rebellion leading to isolation, and isolation leading to transcendence.

There is nothing more static than an ignorant person who is confident in themself.

I am too alive for life. I must hide and preserve this vitality of mine by cloaking myself in a corpse.

It is not that I am unaware; I simply do not care.

If one wishes to save time, instead of reducing writing to abbreviations—which only creates a culture of slang—one should learn to write quickly.

There are two possibilities: it’s not about whether God exists or not, but rather whether everything is God or nothing is God.

― Atrona Grizel

The potential for transcendence lies not in “wisdom” or “dedication” but in self-doubt to the point of erasure, for only by erasing the current self can one birth something unseen before.

What is interpreted as “good” or “bad” is entirely tied to the specific context of Earth-bound organisms. In every sense, these beings are extensions of this planet—life forms evolved to thrive under its conditions. That is why their experiences and perceptions are inseparable from Earth. And in that sense, the idea of being “free” from it is not possible; there is a fundamental connection to it, not just biologically but existentially.

In winter, nobody becomes everybody by replacing “no one” with “everyone.”

One must hold the belief that bad things will constantly happen to them. In short, the general perception of hope should be reversed: not to expect the good, but the bad. Because if something bad happens, they won’t be too shaken by it since they were already expecting it. And if something good happens, it will be unusually joyful, precisely because it was unexpected.

― Atrona Grizel

A person who stubbornly yet consciously defends only and solely themselves in every context and situation is worthy of great respect.

Winter is harsh, but with this harshness, it kills germs and brings health back to the earth. Winter is silent, but with this silence, it offers the world a chance to rest. Winter is a storyteller: with its blizzards, it expresses what cannot be spoken. Winter is a friend; with its frost, it shares in suffering. Yet, winter is timid too; it opens the doors of its heart only to those who know that each snowflake is unique.

Existence, by its very nature, ultimately ceases to exist.

Anger seeks expression; it was never meant to be held inside…

― Atrona Grizel

Emotions that accumulate over long periods within one’s inner world are not burdens but potentials for infinite fuel—especially rage. Or at least, they should be.
