"We'll squeeze every second that we can from our lives, because we're young, and we have plenty of years to grow. We'll grow until we're braver. We'll grow until our bones ache and our skin wrinkles and our hair goes white, and until our hearts decide, at last, that it's time to stop"

“Choose a life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers... Choose DSY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away in the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself, choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that?”
- Irvine Welsh, Trainspotting


“He emphasised basic truths: you are not dying yet, you have to live your life until you are. Underpinning them was the belief that the grim reality of impending death can be talked away by trying to invest in the present reality of life. I didn’t believe that at the time, but now I do. By definition, you have to live until you die. Better to make that life as complete and enjoyable an experience as possible, in case death is shite, which I suspect it will be.”
- Irvine Welsh, Trainspotting


“All the heat and fear had purged itself. I felt surprisingly at peace. The bell jar hung suspended a few feet above my head. I was open to the circulating air. ”

“But no one came. Because no one ever does.”

Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure

......All of you go, go to the Urals!
We clean the place of battle
Steel machines, where the breathing integral,
With the Mongolian wild ордою!


But we ourselves - now you no longer shield,
Now the battle will not join themselves,
We shall look, as a mortal battle is raging,
His narrow eyes.


Not move when fierce Gunn
In the pockets of corpses will fumble,
Burn the city, and in the Church to drive the herd
And meat white brothers fry!..


The last time - go back to the old world!
A fraternal feast of labour and the world,
The last time the light Bratsk PIR
Convokes barbarian lyre!


(Alexander Blok The SCYTHIANS)
