the Library

of my epigraphic nature...

Intro

Hi. Welcome to the Library and today is 2026-02-28, the last updated date. This site is a part of the Nothingness. Should have put this line on every index page I have but I forgot.

Configuration: noindex noarchive nofollow notranslate disallow all
Languages: Chinese, English
TW or tags: true crime, blood, eugenics, animal experiments, colonization, arthropods, description of different disorders and the related (subjective) experience and viewpoints.

For the books or certain parts of my excerpts collected on this site: No explicitly explicit content of any kind, including description and/or images, but some may be triggering or simply upsetting, or, pure sadness I felt. Readers' discretion is advised. Only saying this because I have been trying to understand everything too hard (and failed, apparently).

Not looking for books? Try miscellaneous or for you, or get to the bottom.

  • Excerpts here (as well as loads of thoughts of nonsense), update once in ten years.
  • Just some materials/reference for me and my worldbuilding.
  • Grab yourself something if you're also interested!! ;-DD
  • Footnotes are usually from the authors/translators, or occasionally myself.
  • Commas may have been added for distinguishing sense groups.

Fonts

Please kindly wait for the fonts to load. The Chinese font is much larger, might take some time if you have refreshed the page or being the first time here.

I am in search of nice serif or others, please do not hesitate to share your favourite fonts!!! Any languages.

Credits

Stories that were true without ever having happened. What nonsense! How can anything be true if it's never happened?

纸质或电子书摘抄;因为内容可能经常需要拿来参考而有了这么一个存档。如你所见本人依赖图像/位置记忆,以及是个完全的非虚构爱好者。大概类似于非虚构是摄入,输出才能是虚构的关系。但情感在两侧皆为真实。我怎么说过以上这种话;再次失忆了。或许还会这样反复发生几次总之请无视……但再次感知到自己和自己讲的话似乎没有那么绝对的关联。是在用语言描述自我,还是自我在语言中形成呢?然后这种关联的破裂被简单称之为失忆,虽然确实比较草率但暂时就这样形容。

Will be summarized into actual notes if things happen, you know.

Authors' websites are also posted here in the related sections, and some of my favourites will be in Last Resort too. Please consider to actually go read the books and check out their websites & other works.

No part of this whatever something may be reproduced, translated, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted, in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, microfilming, recording, or otherwise, without written permission from the publisher.

Miscellaneous

Listing / Webrings

Webring items:

  • Bugring: Desmoxytes purpurosea (shocking pink dragon millipede)
  • Void.Shrooms: Filoboletus manipularis
  • Little Pixel Library: LoveStar, a Sci-fi by Andri Snær Magnason in 2002

Are you seeing "This site isn't part of nekowebring yet. If you're the owner, make sure to do Control+F5, otherwise talk to Max"? If so, you are on web archive, not this actual site. No, I am not surprised. Few or zero archive team respect robots.txt and/or meta tags, or even http headers. So, are you the next one? No hard feeling, I just wanted to say this line. I'm not against web archive towards any kind of websites, but the indifference coming from both the archivists and those being archived, sometimes makes it so hilarious.

Google Leaks: A Whistleblower's Expose Of Big Tech Censorship

Bottom

This site has no license as in ask first before you do anything about any of my sites, thank you. Or you may also steal everything from me and become one of us. Should I use a tone tag here? However, this is indeed encouraged here, on any of my sites (though I may say it's not welcomed if you do not use nofollow attribute when linking to my sites). You are free and welcomed to steal everything I have made, for you have become us. (Relax everything I say may be some random lines.)

Hi you made it here. Random quotes are from books mentioned on this site. Taken out of context, but still make purrrfect sense. If not from the books, there are links.

Current wish: 一小时量子速读二十本书 / Read at the speed of 20 books per hour.

Alrighty, below are those fabulous quotes. Please do refer to the original text if you fail to infer from these quotes.

  1. every nook and cranny of yours.
  2. you can't outgrow, out-lie, out-perform, out-play, out-run, or out-joke being different.
  3. I’ll settle for radical self-not-hate.
  4. For a hundred euphemisms...
  5. The Cold Disregard of an Uncaring God
  6. SORRY WE MISSED YOU, WILL RETURN

  8. Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Not Getting Eaten but Were Too Supremely Confident of Your Place in the Food Chain to Ask
  9. This Is Your Brain on the Very Temporary Attention of Strangers Who Don’t Actually Care About You One Bit
  10. They didn’t lose. They didn’t win, either. Life, with some new content, color schemes, highlights, and restrictions, went on. Which just about sums up the whole human experience to date.", "if not now, then soon, if not soon, then eventually.
  11. Beauty is stuck behind a paywall. Stupid is always free. And it sure does like the look of everything you hold dear.
  12. Everything I Need to Know I Learned Six Months Ago When My Reality Was Irreparably Shattered
  13. Live, laugh, love in the streets; I am become death, destroyer of worlds in the sheets.
  14. 'My mother said there are no homosexuals in our family.'
    'Maybe there aren't, but there might be a lesbian.'
  15. 'But you are! A baby! Christ, you still genuinely think things might turn out all right for you. No one over thirty-five thinks that, not anywhere.'
  16. “I didn’t want to die, darling,” he said with a wave of one slender, dexterous hand. “I just didn’t want to go to work in the morning. Easy to mix up.”
  17. Do not lie.
    Directly.
    Do not tell the truth.
    Entirely.
  18. ... language that can never have its meaning fully closed down, because it implies more than it explains.
  19. The Pornographer's Handbook: how to exploit women, dupe men and make lots of money
  20. Only Dead Fish Follow the Stream
  21. I am not a philosopher. But it is clear sentient beings frequently do things for no reason.
  22. Perpetual growth is the creed of the cancer cell, but third-rate economists can’t think of anything else.
