I was always drawn to the self-destructive kind of way. I thought there was something beautiful about it; I don't know why.

We are effectively destroying ourselves by violence masquerading as love.

I'm so fascinated by how people destroy each other and love each other.

I'm pretty romantic.

Here is the root of all romanticism: that man, the individual, is an infinite reservoir of possibilities, and if you can so rearrange society by the destruction of oppressive order, then these possibilities will have a chance, and you will get Progress.

I think that the romantic impulse is in all of us and that sometimes we live it for a short time, but it's not part of a sensible way of living. It's a heroic path and it generally ends dangerously.

At the heart of all romanticism is suffering.

Love is jealous, and ingenious in self-torture in proportion as it is pure and intense.

You know, we're really destroying ourselves because we're really making the motivating force of anything we do selfish.
