An individual dies ... when, instead of taking risks and hurling himself toward being, he cowers within, and takes refuge there.

If, at the limit, you can rule without crime, you cannot do so without injustices.

So long as man is protected by madness - he functions - and flourishes.

Man must vanquish himself, must do himself violence, in order to perform the slightest action untainted by evil.

Each of us is born with a share of purity, predestined to be corrupted by our commerce with mankind, by that sin against solitude.

By what aberration has suicide, the only truly normal action, become the attribute of the flawed?

He who has never envied the vegetable has missed the human drama.
