Reflections on Literature and Morality • Andre Gide“The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde““If I had found the food I liked, believe me, I should have made no fuss and stuffed myself like you or anyone else.” These were his last words, but in his dimming eyes there remained the firm though no longer proud persuasion that he was still continuing to fast.” ”
A Hunger Artist • Franz Kafka“What relationship could exist between the lives of the fools and healthy rabble who were well, who slept well, who performed the sexual act well, who had never felt the wings of death on their face every moment—what relationship could exist between them and one like me who has arrived at the end of his rope and who knows that he will pass away gradually and tragically?”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat
