“i understand that the world was nothing: a mechanical chaos of casual, brute enmity on which we stupidly impose our hopes and fears. i understood that, finally and absolutely, i alone exist. all the rest, i saw, is merely what pushes me, or what i push against, blindly - as blindly as all that is not myself pushes back. i create the whole universe, blink by blink.”
― John Champlin Gardner Jr., Grendel

“The world is all pointless accident... I exist, nothing else.”
― John Gardner, Grendel

“No gods, no masters. ”
― Margaret Sanger

“I created myself, echo and abyss, by thinking. I multiplied myself by going deeply into myself...”
― Fernando Pessoa
