All from H. P. Lovecraft: Against World, Against Life

Life is painful and disapointing. It is useless, therefore to write realistic novels. We generally know where we stand in relation to reality and don't care to know more. Humanity, such as it is, inspires only an attenuated curiosity in us.

All those who love life do not read. Nor do they go to the movies actually.

Adulthood is hell. In the face of such trenchant position "moralists" will utter vague, opprobrious grumblings while waiting for a chance to strike with their obscene imitations.

Throughout his life [H. P. Lovecraft] maintained a typically aristocratic, scornful attitude toward humanity in general coupled with extreme kindness towards individuals in particular.

Absolute hatred of the world in general, aggravated by an aversion to the modern world in particular.
