Eat Drink Die

"I should eat and drink, only in order to hunger and thirst again, and eat and drink, merely until the open grave under my feet swallows me up as a meal for the earth? Should I create more beings like myself, so that they can eat and drink and die, and so they can leave behind beings of their own, so that they can do the same as I have already done? What is the point of this continual, self-contained and ever-returning circle, this repetitive game that always starts again in the same way, in which everything is, in order to fade away, and fades away, only in order to return again as it was - this monster, continually devouring itself in order to reproduce itself, and reproduce itself, in order to devour itself?"

- Johann Gottlieb Fichte

Who Shall Deliver Me

"I lock my door upon myself,
And bar them out; but who shall wall
Self from myself, most loathed of all?"

- Christina Rossetti, "Who Shall Deliver Me?"
