i'm looking for books or literature that have the same theme/feeling that the following passage gives:
"It's because it's only when you feel like everything in your life is completely fucked that you come face to face with the core of things. It's a great wall of ice, buried at the bottom of the swamp. It stretches to infinity. It is your mortality, your brutal, utter insignificance. It is existence stripped of every surface thing you ever thought made existence good. Facing it, you realise that it has an austere beauty, that stripped of all the trappings that make life bearable, even existence itself is a miraculous thing.
Others never find it, flail inches from it in the mud their whole lives, hover above the ice on a veneer of lies and cutting or die before they reach it. They go to the bottom of the well only to drown."
Thanks 4chan ;)
