You define a good flight by negatives: you didn't get hijacked, you didn't crash, you didn't throw up, you weren't late, you weren't nauseated by the food. So you are grateful. ↗

People. You must love people. Men are admirable. I want to vomit—and suddenly, there it is: the Nausea ↗

— Jean-Paul Sartre

#people #vomit #love

It's quite an undertaking to start loving somebody. You have to have energy, generosity, blindness...There is a moment, right at the start, where you have to jump across an abyss: if you think abut it you don't do it. I know that I shall never jump again. ↗

— Jean-Paul Sartre

#love

I am alone in this white, garden-rimmed street. Alone and free. But this freedom is rather like death. ↗

— Jean-Paul Sartre

#nausea #death

For seven days she lay in bed looking sullenly at the ceiling as though resenting the death she had cultivated for so many years. Like some people who cannot vomit despite horrible nausea, she lay there unable to die, resisting death as she had resisted life, frozen with resentment of process and change. ↗

— William S. Burroughs
