Two Dogs Dead

This is where I am now.

The road now stretched across open country, and it occurred to me—not by way of protest, not as a symbol, or anything like that, but, merely as a novel experience—that since I had disregarded all laws of humanity, I might as well disregard the rules of traffic.  So I crossed to the left side of the highway and checked the felling, and the feeling was good.  It was a pleasant diaphragmal melting, with elements of diffused tactility, all this elimination of basic physical laws than deliberately driving on the wrong side of the road.  In a way, it was a very spiritual itch.  Gently, dreamily, not exceeding twenty miles an hour, I drove on that queer mirror side.  Traffic was light.  Cars that now and then passed me on the side I had abandoned to them, honked at me brutally.  Cars coming towards me wobbled, swerved, and cried out in fear.

Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov

"Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to such a pass that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love, and in order to occupy and distract himself without love he gives way to passions and coarse pleasures, and sinks to bestiality in his vices, all from continual lying to other men and to himself. The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offence, isn’t it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill — he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offence, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it, and so pass to genuine vindictiveness."

Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov (via sunrec)

"Perhaps the strong and the daring don’t need [God], but for people like me life is easier with the thought of Him."

Mikhail Bulgakov (via noisywithstars)

than the weight of all things."
