![“[...] I suppose this was the first time I had ever felt an urge not to be. Never an urge to die, far less an urge to put an end to myself - simply an urge not to be. This disgusting, hostile and unlovely world was not made for me, nor I for it. It was alien to me and I to it.” quote by Stephen Fry](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/8a2/stephen-fry-573_aliens_i-suppose-this-was-the-first-time-i-had_1370228.jpg)
