When you write down your life, every page should contain something no one has ever heard about.
From Elias Canetti
He who is obsessed by death is made guilty by it.
Whether or not God is dead: it is impossible to keep silent about him who was there for so long.
As if one could know the good a person is capable of, when one doesn't know the bad he might do.
There is no doubt: the study of man is just beginning, at the same time that his end is in sight.
A 'modern' man has nothing to add to modernism, if only because he has nothing to oppose it with. The well-adapted drop off the dead limb of time like lice.
It doesn't matter how new an idea is: what matters is how new it becomes.
There is no such thing as an ugly language. Today I hear every language as if it were the only one, and when I hear of one that is dying, it overwhelms me as though it were the death of the earth.
The paranoiac is the exact image of the ruler. The only difference is their position in the world. One might even think the paranoiac the more impressive of the two because he is sufficient unto himself and cannot be shaken by failure.
Someone who always has to lie discovers that every one of his lies is true.
