"Yet.”
― Leigh Bardugo, King of Scars

“There is, in the Army, a little known but very important activity appropriately called Fatigue. Fatigue, in the Army, is the very necessary cleaning and repairing of the aftermath of living. Any man who has ever owned a gun has known Fatigue, when, after fifteen minutes in the woods and perhaps three shots at an elusive squirrel, he has gone home to spend three-quarters of an hour cleaning up his piece so that it will be ready next time he goes to the woods. Any woman who has ever cooked a luscious meal and ladled it out in plates upon the table has known Fatigue, when, after the glorious meal is eaten, she repairs to the kitchen to wash the congealed gravy from the plates and the slick grease from the cooking pots so they will be ready to be used this evening, dirtied, and so washed again. It is the knowledge of the unendingness and of the repetitious uselessness, the do it up so it can be done again, that makes Fatigue fatigue.”
― James Jones, From Here to Eternity

“Narcissists are manipulative and masterful at twisting the situation and working the rules to get what they want. Even more frustrating, they will turn things around in such a way that you may ultimately give them what they want and exhaust yourself in the process. Early in a relationship, the manipulation is most often emotional (“I had a tough childhood, so sometimes I say things I do not meanâ€� or “I am under a lot of stress, so I blew up—I didn’t really mean itâ€�) and financial (masterfully getting you to take on disproportionately more financial responsibility, finding yourself spending money you do not have to keep your relationship going and your partner happy.”
― Ramani Durvasula, Should I Stay or Should I Go?: Surviving a Relationship with a Narcissist

“I sometimes feel like a foolish young grandmother armed with a teaspoon, determined to remove three mountains from the path to liberation: the mountain of racism, the mountain of sexism and the mountain of nationalist oppression. I tire easily these days ... Sometimes I feel the tiredness is old, as old as the colonial process itself. On those days I am energized by the fact that it is not my fatigue but the fatigue of the oppressor's system which haunts me. On other days the tiredness is deeply personal.”
― Lee Maracle, I Am Woman: A Native Perspective on Sociology and Feminism

“Homo defessus â€� Never before in human history have so many people considered their everyday tiredness (because they are so busy and have so much to do) as a badge of honor. We are living in the era of Homo defessus, the exhausted man. I wonder if historians of the distant future (if there will be any) will look back at our epoch and decide to give it a name: “The Second Dark Ages,â€� because for the first time, humans not only deliberately sought exhaustion, but were also convinced that this mentality was their pride, an indisputable token of greatness.”
― Giannis Delimitsos

“Il y a ces moments vains où l'on reste des heures en manteau sur le canapé, parce qu'on ne trouve pas la force de descendre acheter du pain.
Ces heures massacrées devant la télévision, juste pour que ce fond sonore nous gave l'esprit. Ces moments où il faut se bourrer la tête de sons et d'images pour ne surtout pas être tenté de penser à quoi que ce soit, parce que les seules idées qui viennent sont suicidaires.”
― Claire Marin, Hors de moi

“Il arrive à tout le monde d'avoir quelqu'un à la maison que l'on a envie de voir partir, quelqu'un que l'on aime bien, mais comme on est très pressé ou très fatigué, on voudrait bien que ce quelqu'un plie les gaules, si je puis dire, et c'est le moment qu'il choisit pour se caler contre le dossier en soupirant : "Qu'est-ce qu'on est bien, chez vous !".”
― Fabien Marechal, Nouvelles à ne pas y croire
