Ferkudi loved lists, all lists. When the palace chatelaine had shown him her immaculately organized ledgers, the look on his face had been a baggage train of astonishment, then disbelief, then rapture, and finally utter infatuation for the bespectacled sexagenarian and her perfect figures.

The Burning White

Brent Weeks

Be infinitely willing to feel and experience all the bad stuff endlessly because a part of you already is infinitely willing anyway. You don't have to “try” to love all the fucked-up stuff in your life: the simple fact is that you already do love it, immensely. All you need is honesty. Just be honest with yourself about the subtle erotic joy you get from dwelling on/fearing all the “bad things.” Be honest about how exciting it is that you'll definitely die, and in dying, you will totally fail to keep your ego projects in motion. You're a complete failure no matter what. A dead failure.

Existential Kink

Carolyn Elliott

The first man who was ever consciously a Stoic (there have been and are many unconscious ones) was he who first looked upon the world and his own nature, and observed that the things wherein he was subject to fatality and chance, which he was unable to order at his own will, were just those which either did not affect him, his real self, at all; or affected him only as he desired they should.
