The abyss is full of reality, the abyss experiences itself, the abyss is alive.

Denis Johnson

Voluptuaries, consumed by their senses, always begin by flinging themselves with a great display of frenzy into an abyss. But they survive, they come to the surface again. And they develop a routine of the abyss: It's four o clock. At five I have my abyss.

Sidonie Gabrielle Colette

Every month, it is woman's fate to face the abyss of time and being, the abyss which is herself.

Camille Paglia

When you stare into an abyss for a long time, the abyss also stares into you.

Friedrich Nietzsche

If you stare into the Abyss long enough the Abyss stares back at you.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Deconstruction seems to offer a way out of the closure of knowledge. By inaugurating the open-ended indefiniteness of textuality-by thus 'placing in the abyss' (mettre en abime), as the French expression would literally have it-it shows us the lure of the abyss as freedom. The fall into the abyss of deconstruction inspires us with as much pleasure as fear. We are intoxicated with the prospect of never hitting bottom

Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak

When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you.

Friedrich Nietzsche

The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once wrote that when you look into the darkness of the abyss the abyss looks into you. Probably no other line or thought more inspires or informs my work.

Michael Connelly

I myself am an absolute abyss.

Antonin Artaud

You've gotta dive into the abyss if you wanna get anything good. Every record, you've gotta go down in the abyss and hope that you come out of it alive.

King Tuff

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.

Friedrich Nietzsche

We come from a dark abyss, we end in a dark abyss, and we call the luminous interval life.

Nikos Kazantzakis

I saw the abyss of my misery; whatever there is of good in me is Yours, O Lord. But because I am so small and wretched, I have a right to count on Your boundless mercy.

Mary Faustina Kowalska

I cling unto the burning Æthyr like Lucifer that fell through the Abyss, and by the fury of his flight kindled the air. And I am Belial, for having seen the Rose upon thy breast, I have denied God. And I am Satan! I am Satan! I am cast out upon a burning crag! And the sea boils about the desolation thereof. And already the vultures gather, and feast upon my flesh.
