{"quotes":[{"text":"The dense fog manifests ever-living gravestones, the tunes of decadence, the hearts that were doomed to dance alone. Here lies untouched beauty, a brittle dream, an unseen sea-born nightmare, an isolated acheirous harf, fishbones without flesh, a face without letters, the hypnotic power o Apollonian destruction. Ashes kiss the grapefruit essential oil skin, the soul beats with eaten sons and daughters, soaking wet serpents with cuspid tongues lollop for legendary goddesses.","author":"Laura Gentile","tags":["dance","decadence","doomed","fog","hearts"],"id":3721,"author_id":"Laura+Gentile"},{"text":"We are always immeasurably bigger than the little person we’ve too often doomed ourselves to be.","author":"Craig D.

Why am I alone doomed to spend nights of torment, with an unseen jailer, when all the rest of the world sleeps peacefully? By what laws have I been tried and condemned, without my knowledge, and to such a heavy sentence, too, when I do not even know of what or by whom I have been indicted? A wild impulse comes to me to protest, to demand a hearing, to refuse to submit any longer to such injustice. But to whom can one appeal when one does not even know where to find the judge? How can one ever hope to prove one’s innocence when there is no means of knowing of what one has been accused? No, there’s no justice for people like us in the world: all that we can do is to suffer as bravely as possible and put our oppressors to shame.","author":"Anna Kavan","tags":["alone","condemned","desperate","doomed","injustice","suffering","torment"],"id":78252,"author_id":"Anna+Kavan"},{"text":"Everyone living is doomed.","author":"Taylor Caldwell","tags":["doomed","everyone","living"],"id":103367,"author_id":"Taylor+Caldwell"},{"text":"Our relationship had been doomed form the start, because it was based on grief, and unlike love, grief eventually passed.","author":"Ilona Andrews","tags":["doomed","grief","love"],"id":123082,"author_id":"Ilona+Andrews"},{"text":"Cathy, don't look so defeated.
