A self-respecting man is a man without a country. A fatherland is birdlime.

The wise man, the sage, is hostile to the new. Disabused, he abdicates: that is his form of protest.

What pride to discover that nothing belongs to you - what a revelation.

No one should forget: Eros alone can fulfill life; knowledge, never. Only Eros makes sense; knowledge is empty infinity; – for thoughts, there is always time; life has its time; there is no thought that comes too late; any desire can become a regret.

Life is merely a fracas on an unmapped terrain, and the universe a geometry stricken with epilepsy.
