FacebookTwitter
A sudden silence in the middle of a conversation suddenly brings us back to essentials: it reveals how dearly we must pay for the invention of speech.

FacebookTwitter
Criticism is a misconception: we must read not to understand others but to understand ourselves.

A decadent civilization compromises with its disease, cherishes the virus infecting it, loses its self-respect.

FacebookTwitter
The source of our actions resides in an unconscious propensity to regard ourselves as the center, the cause, and the conclusion of time. Our reflexes and our pride transform into a planet the parcel of flesh and consciousness we are.
» More quotes about: Egotism
FacebookTwitter
Man must vanquish himself, must do himself violence, in order to perform the slightest action untainted by evil.

FacebookTwitter
To exist is equivalent to an act of faith, a protest against the truth, an interminable prayer. As soon as they consent to live, the unbeliever and the man of faith are fundamentally the same, since both have made the only decision that defines a being.

There is no means of proving it is preferable to be than not to be.

To want fame is to prefer dying scorned than forgotten.

The fanatic is incorruptible: if he kills for an idea, he can just as well get himself killed for one; in either case, tyrant or martyr, he is a monster.

FacebookTwitter
Fear can supplant our real problems only to the extent -unwilling either to assimilate or to exhaust it -we perpetuate it within ourselves like a temptation and enthrone it at the very heart of our solitude.
» More quotes about: Fear
FacebookTwitter
What we want is not freedom but its appearances. It is for these simulacra that man has always striven. And since freedom, as has been said, is no more than a sensation, what difference is there between being free and believing ourselves free?

To exist is a habit I do not despair of acquiring.
» More quotes about: Habit
FacebookTwitter
Much more than our other needs and endeavors, it is sexuality that puts us on an even footing with our kind: the more we practice it, the more we become like everyone else: it is in the performance of a reputedly bestial function that we prove our status

FacebookTwitter
Music is the refuge of souls ulcerated by happiness.

FacebookTwitter
Tyranny destroys or strengthens the individual; freedom enervates him, until he becomes no more than a puppet. Man has more chances of saving himself by hell than by paradise.

Only one endowed with restless vitality is susceptible to pessimism. You become a pessimist -a demonic, elemental, bestial pessimist -only when life has been defeated many times in its fight against depression.

FacebookTwitter
Alone, even doing nothing, you do not waste your time. You do, almost always, in company. No encounter with yourself can be altogether sterile: Something necessarily emerges, even if only the hope of some day meeting yourself again.

Speech and silence. We feel safer with a madman who talks than with one who cannot open his mouth.
