Anna Kavan
“My ideas were confused. In a peculiar way, the unreality of the outer world appeared to be an extension of my own disturbed state of mind.”
Anna Kavan, Ice

Michael Bassey Johnson
“True love is jealousy in disguise: A man cannot restrict his lover from going to the club because he hates her, he actually hates the men who would come around and touch her.”
Michael Bassey Johnson

“So can you tell me exactly what 'freedom' means? If I am not free to be as twisted as I wanna be?”
Disturbed, Disturbed -- Indestructible: Authentic Guitar TAB

Richelle E. Goodrich
“It's amusing to me that we refer to people who live in their heads as detached, disturbed, or mad, when reality for anyone is actually a matter of the individual's state of mind. The mad truth—all people live in their heads. Whatever you think life is, it is.”
Richelle E. Goodrich, Smile Anyway: Quotes, Verse, and Grumblings for Every Day of the Year

Jostein Gaarder
“It's not him who's disturbed. But he likes to disturb others--to shake them out of their rut.”
Jostein Gaarder, Sophie’s World

Sidney Knight
“The most terrifying part was that the evil dwelling in those eyes could've gone unnoticed by many.”
Sidney Knight, Alex

Olivia Sudjic
“My reflections amount to a love story that is mostly made up, from memories that are mostly false, between people who were mainly not there. The things for which she was not there have her in them now more deeply because of her absence, and her effect on my way of seeing them. Anytime I note her absence from a thing, she arrives at once, as if summoned, entrenching herself more deeply than she exists in my memories of times when she was there, so that time, the sequence of what really happened, seems to curve around her.”
Olivia Sudjic, Sympathy

Charlotte Munro
“I stared down at my hands and saw the blood coat them, how warm and real something felt when it wasn’t just ink and stains. This was life and I was holding it in my hands. I drew my eyes back up and beneath the flickering streetlight and the throng of drunken cattle, I saw nothing else but the dead girl. Somebody out there had taken her life, her heart, and there I was with her warm, sticky blood. Feeling the most alive I’d felt in years.
I had to find him. I just had to.”
Charlotte Munro, Down by The Mausoleum

“I feed my devils, so they let me live in peace, with peace.”
ehddah

Pamela Morris
“Horror writers shouldn't play nice. Disturb & unnerve your reader. Make them uncomfortable, but not so much they stop reading.”
Pamela Morris

Michael Finkel
“It's possible that Knight believed he was one of the few sane people left. He was confounded by the idea that passing the prime of your life in a cubicle, spending hours a day at a computer, in exchange for money, was considered acceptable, but relaxing in a tent in the woods was disturbed. Observing the trees was indolent; cutting them down was enterprising. What did Knight do for a living? He lived for a living.”
Michael Finkel, The Stranger in the Woods: The Extraordinary Story of the Last True Hermit

Steven Magee
“Sleep apnea is a plague in the western world.”
Steven Magee

Arti Manani
“There was something unnerving about her surroundings. She was unsure, not knowing whether this was her paranoia kicking in, or a warning. How could you tell?”
Arti Manani, The Colours of Denial

“Never allow opinions of others to disturb your inner tranquillity.”
Lailah Gifty Akita, Think Great: Be Great!

Steven Magee
“This fits in with what I saw in staff in astronomical facilities and was reporting to the management team: 10-14% Oxygen: Emotional upset, abnormal fatigue, disturbed respiration.”
Steven Magee

Charlotte Munro
“No. No… No!’ the fear ebbed my voice, cut through me like a knife. I ran, bare feet slipping and sliding over the floorboards. I turned the corner and headed for the backdoor.
Run. Run. I must run.
As soon as I reached the backdoor in the kitchen, pulling the barn door from the hinges, I felt his gaze upon me. Cinders and kindling crunched at my feet; what had once been my lovely mahogany kitchen furniture was now little more than firewood. My crockery and china splintered in shards and as I turned to face him, I felt them dig into my skin, cut me with every shiver that bolted through my frame.
‘You wanted Hemlock House. You have, Hemlock House.’ His voice was dark, cruel and yet hauntingly light. As if cooing, whispering to a newborn. He was lounging against the countertop as if waiting for breakfast, as if waiting for something so meaningless.”
Charlotte Munro, Skeletons in The Closet [A Horror Collection]

Garon Whited
“I admit I’m easy to disturb. Heck, I’m about as disturbed as it’s possible to get without actually needing a self-hugging jacket and bubble wrap wallpaper.”
Garon Whited, Knightfall

Zane Grey
“Joan felt that she would always be haunted and would always suffer that pang for Kells. She would never lie down in the peace and quiet of her home, wherever that might be, without picturing Kells, dark and forbidding and burdened, pacing some lonely cabin or riding a lonely trail or lying with his brooding face upturned to the lonely stars. Sooner or later he would meet his doom. It was inevitable. She pictured over that sinister scene of the dangling forms; but no — Kells would never end that way. Terrible as he was, he had not been born to be hanged. He might be murdered in his sleep, by one of that band of traitors who were traitors because in the nature of evil they had to be. But more likely some gambling-hell, with gold and life at stake, would see his last fight. These bandits stole gold and gambled among themselves and fought. And that fight which finished Kells must necessarily be a terrible one. She seemed to see into a lonely cabin where a log fire burned low and lamps flickered and blue smoke floated in veils and men lay prone on the floor — Kells, stark and bloody, and the giant Gulden, dead at last and more terrible in death, and on the rude table bags of gold and dull, shining heaps of gold, and scattered on the floor, like streams of sand and useless as sand, dust of gold — the Destroyer.

John Cowper Powys
“The day was one of those early Spring days that for some mysterious reason, very hard to analyse, are felt to be ill-omened and unpleasant. Something was certainly wrong with this day! All animal nerves felt it. All human nerves felt it. All living things were irritable, restless, disturbed; sick without being sick; sad without being sad; annoyed without any apparent cause for annoyance!”
John Cowper Powys, A Glastonbury Romance

Emil M. Cioran
“I am stirred, even overwhelmed each time I happen upon an innocent person. Where does he come from? What is he after? Doesn't such an apparition herald some disaster? It is a very special disturbance we suffer in the presence of someone there is no way of calling our kind.”
Emil M. Cioran, The Trouble With Being Born

“Do not be disturbed nor downcast when faced with difficulty but pray for divine help.”
Lailah Gifty Akita

Steven Magee
“Enzyme production is often disturbed by COVID-19 infection.”
Steven Magee, COVID Supplements

Jennifer L. Armentrout
“You're so incredibly beautiful when you're angry.'

I refused to be flattered by that somewhat weird compliment. 'And you're so incredibly disturbed.'

'Been called worse.'

'I'm sure you have.”
Jennifer L. Armentrout, A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire

Robert Jordan
“You may talk if you wish," she went on absently, "but do it quietly. Now, you go, Master al'Vere. This is a sickroom, not a gathering hall. See that I am not disturbed.”
Robert Jordan, The Eye of the World

Jennifer L. Armentrout
“Glad to know the disturbed apple doesn't fall too far from the crazy tree.”
Jennifer L. Armentrout, A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire

Yuri Herrera
“The scene had the innocence of all unsettling things that take place in silence.”
Yuri Herrera, The Transmigration of Bodies
