Se me presentaba con claridad la idea de que la vida y el mundo parecían ahora depender de mí. Incluso podría decir que el mundo, en aquel momento, estaba hecho sólo para mí: si me suicidaba, el mundo desaparecería, al menos para mí. Por no hablar de que en realidad era probable que ya nada existiera tras mi desaparición, y que cuando se apagara mi conciencia, se apagaría y desaparecería al instante todo el mundo, como si fuera una aparición de mi conciencia, pues tal vez todo ese mundo, y toda esa gente, no eran únicamente más que yo.

“Mas naquele momento minha alma estava à mercê de um desespero tenebroso: eu me afundava, eu mesmo me afundava, então quem é que eu poderia salvar?”
— Fiódor Dostoiévski.

Can I have some classic lit recs…make me feel like Henry please <3
Oh, this would be my pleasure, my dear friend!
Caligula by Albert Camus (It's a play about Caligula)
Oresteia by Aeschylus
Cicero
Coriolanus and Titus Andronicus by Shakespeare. Coriolanus speaks about men's hubris and how pridefullness brings your downfall, while Titus Andronicus, well, I'll let you discover it by yourself:))
Marcus Aurelius, amazing works regarding stoicism
Seneca, letters to Lucilius, another great stoic
Petrarca's letters to classical authors
Ovid, the roman writer exiled by Augustus to the Black Sea, at Tomis, part of the Kingdom of Thrace (now Constanța, Romania), where he kept writing.
Bacchae by Euripides
Quo Vadis by Henryk Sienkiewicz (a nobel awarded historical fiction about the life in Nero's Rome, written by a Polish writer)
Sappho, but I suggest finding a good translation with footnotes as her works have been barely maintained, and some of her poems are literally one word long.
Beyond good and evil by Nietzsche
Crime and Punishment by Dostoievsky (I won't add more as I recently conducted a full ass campaign here on how and why this book is worth it)
E.M. Cioran, A short history of decay, The demiurge, The troubles with being born. He is a bit of a nihilist. Romanian philosopher that wrote mostly in French
Machiavelli, The prince. This should be a good introduction into Machiavellism
The sacred and profane by M. Eliade is also worth a try
I believe there's no point in mentioning the Iliad and the Odyssey since everybody knows them by now. Hope you'll have fun!

Soy un hombre ridículo. Ahora ellos me llaman loco. Y eso podría haberme supuesto un ascenso de grado, si no me siguieran considerando igual de ridículo que antes. Ahora no me enfado y todos me parecen simpáticos; incluso cuando se burlan de mí siguen de algún modo pareciéndome especialmente dulces. De buena gana me reiría con ellos -no ya de mí, sino por afecto hacia ellos- si no fuera por la tristeza que siento cuando los miro. Y me siento triste porque ellos desconocen la verdad, y yo si la sé. ¡Oh, qué difícil le resulta a uno conocer la verdad! Pero ellos no lo entenderían. No, no lo entenderían.

"El dolor y el sufrimiento son siempre inevitables para una gran inteligencia y un corazón profundo. Las personas realmente grandes, creo, tienen una gran tristeza en la tierra."
