If I read a scary story in the newspaper, I find I'm haunted by it.
As much as I dream, I have nightmares.

It's usually best not to ask philosophers anything, precisely because they have the habit of what in the Persian language is called sanud: the profitless consideration of unsettling yet inconsequential things.
I have this thing in the back of my brain that dares me to think of the most disturbing thing.
I have a vivid, apocalyptic imagination.
The nightmares arrived like they always did, much like the best player in the opposition when you've heard rumors that he might be injured or sick-but there he is, warming up with the rest of them, ready to take the field.
