Can i have some pessimistic quotes or sayings?

Question

not about being pessimistic, or pessimistic people. but like quotes that some pessimistic person would say. or like "emo" or like idk.. stuff like that

Answer 1

This is one of the most pessimistic and the saddest quote I have run across in some time. I hope it is helpful.

Have you even been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up this whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life... and you give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you, or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like "maybe we should just be friends" or "how very perceptive" turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.

Answer 2

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,

To the last syllable of recorded time;

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,

And then is heard no more. It is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.  [-William Shakespeare, Macbeth]

We wear the mask that grins and lies,

It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—

This debt we pay to human guile;

With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,

And mouth with myriad subtleties.

Why should the world be over-wise,

In counting all our tears and sighs?

Nay, let them only see us, while

We wear the mask.

We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries

To thee from tortured souls arise.

We sing, but oh the clay is vile

Beneath our feet, and long the mile;

But let the world dream otherwise,

We wear the mask!  [-Paul Lawrence Dunbar]

Astride of a grave and a difficult birth.  Down in the hole, lingeringly, the grave-digger puts on the forceps.  We have time to grow old.  The air is full of our cries.  He listens.  But habit is a great deadener.  He looks again at Estragon.  At me too someone is looking, of me too someone is saying, He is sleeping, he knows nothing, let him sleep on.  Pause.  I can’t go on!  Pause.  What have I said?    [-Samuel Beckett, Waiting for Godot]

Nobody head him, the dead man,

But as he lay moaning;

I was much further out than you thought

And not waving but drowning.

Poor chap, he always loved larking

And now he’s dead

It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way,

They said.

Oh, no no no, it was too cold always

(Still the dead one lay moaning)

I was much too far out all my life

And not waving but drowning.  [-Stevie Smith]

He's a real nowhere Man,

Sitting in his Nowhere Land,

Making all his nowhere plans

for nobody.

Doesn't have a point of view,

Knows not where he's going to,

Isn't he a bit like you and me?  [-John Lennon, “Nowhere Man”]

Most men live lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.  [-Henry David Thoreau]

and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.  [-Thomas Hobbes]

“But I confess that when I survey this globe, or rather this globule, I am forced to the conclusion that God has abandoned it to some mischevious power, though I make an exception to Eldorado, of course.  I have scarcely seen a town which does not seek the ruin of a neighbouring town, nor a family that does not wish to exterminate some other family.  You will find that the weak always detest the strong and cringe from them like so many sheep to be sold for their meat and wool.  A million regimented assassins surge from one end of Europe to the other, earning their living by committing murder and brigandage in the strictest discipline, because they have no more honest livelinood; and in those towns which seem to enjoy the blessings of peace and where the arts flourish, men suffer more from envy, cares, and anxiety than a besieged town suffers from the scourges of war, for secret vexations are much more cruel than public miseries.  In short, I have seen and experienced so much, that I am forced to believe than man’s origin is evil.”

“All the same, there is some good,” replied Candide.

“Possibly,” said Martin, “but I have never encountered it.”  [-Voltaire, Candide]

Answer 7

Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls

Would scarcely get your feet wet.

Take heart amid the deepening gloom

That your dog is finally getting enough cheese.

And reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot

It could only be worse in Milwaukee.

You are a fluke of the universe.

You have no right to be here.

And whether you can hear it or not

The universe is laughing behind your back.

Answer 8

We are born, grow old, get sick, and then we die ... without realizing death nullifies all meaning & purpose we achieved in ourselves, our loved ones or society. Bummer!
