Roland Barthes

“Like love, mourning affects the world—and the worldly—with unreality, with importunity. I resist the world, I suffer from what it demands of me, from its demands. The world increases my sadness, my dryness, my confusion, my irritation, etc. The world depresses me.”

Roland Barthes, Mourning Diary: October 26, 1977–September 15, 1979
