If it is nothingness that awaits us, let us make an injustice of it, let us fight against destiny, even without hope of victory. - Miguel de Unamuno

أتعرف ما هو الجحيم؟ أتعرف أين هو الجحيم؟
- في منتصف السماء يقولون
أو ربما في منتصف بطن عاقر.

Yes, I know well that others before me have felt what I feel and express; that many others feel it today, although they keep silence about it. ...And I do not keep silence about it because it is for many the thing which must not be spoken, the abomination of abominations — infandum — and I believe that it is necessary now and again to speak the thing which must not be spoken. ...Even if it should lead only to irritating the devotees of progress, those who believe that truth is consolation, it would lead to not a little. To irritating them and making them say: "Poor fellow! if he would only use his intelligence to better purpose!... Someone perhaps will add that I do not know what I say, to which I shall reply that perhaps he may be right — and being right is such a little thing! — but that I feel what I say and I know what I feel and that suffices me. And that it is better to be lacking in reason than to have too much of it.

Love is a contradiction if there is no God.
