I read Kant. You can ask, Why did you read Kant? For me the question was somehow: I can either study philosophy or I can drown myself, so to speak. But not because I didn’t love life! No! As I said before—I had this need to understand … The need to understand was there very early.

Get scared. It will do you good. Smoke a bit, stare blankly at some ceilings, beat your head against some walls, refuse to see some people, paint and write. Get scared some more. Allow your little mind to do nothing but function. Stay inside, go out - I don’t care what you’ll do; but stay scared as hell. You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.

Albert Camus, from Notebooks, 1951-1959 (via skeletales)

Pawn Stars: Kierkegaard Edition

"I’m looking to sell the concept of anxiety, it’s still got the dogmatic issue of hereditary sin fully intact. I was looking to maybe even trade it for mediation and complete freedom?”

"Hrrrmm. I don’t know. The best we can do right now is give you the dizziness of freedom. No, you know what, we’ll throw in some mild immediacy to self-conscious reflection, just for you.”

I think where I am not, therefore I am where I do not think … I am not wherever I am the plaything of my thought; I think of what I am where I do not think to think.

"There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is blowjobs." - Camus. Probably.

They tell us that prisons are over-populated. But what if it was the population that was being over-imprisoned?

The idea of the future, pregnant with an infinity of possibilities, is thus more fruitful than the future itself, and this is why we find more charm in hope than in possession, in dreams than in reality.

Henri Bergson (via literary-life)
