I cannot conceive any work of art as having a separate existence from life itself

Don't tire yourself more than need be, even at the price of founding a culture on the fatigue of your bones.

Tragedy on the stage is no longer enough for me, I shall bring it into my own life.

I know each conversation with a psychiatrist in the morning made me want to hang myself because I knew I could not strangle him.

Destroy yourselves, you who are desperate, and you who are tortured in body and soul, abandon all hope. There is no more solace for you in this world. The world lives off your rotting flesh.

By suicide I introduce my design in nature, I shall for the first time give things the shape of my will ... now I choose the direction of my thought and the direction of my faculties, my tendencies, my reality.

If I commit suicide, it will not be to destroy myself but to put myself back together again.
