The Anxious Outsider /  by Nathan Jones

“Anxiety brings Dasein face to face with its ownmost Being-thrown and reveals the uncanniness of everyday familiar Being-in-the-world.”
— Martin Heidegger in Being and Time (p. 342)
“What can be said to characterize the Outsider is a sense of strangeness, of unreality.”
— Colin Wilson in The Outsider (p. 14)

What I was always intended to do /  by Nathan Jones

“Now I recognize it for what it was: the realization that I had at last settled down to the serious business of living: that after the long-drawn-out and messy years of childhood, and the teenage agonies of self-consciousness, I had at last ceased to waste my time; I was starting to do what I was always intended to do. There was a feeling like leaving harbour.”
— Colin Wilson in The Outsider, Twenty Years On
