The reaction against your own thought in itself lends life to thought. How this reaction is born is hard to describe, because it identifies with the very rare intellectual tragedies. The tension, the degree and level of intensity of a thought proceeds from its internal antinomies, which in turn are derived from the unsolvable contradictions of a soul. Thought cannot solve the contradictions of the soul. As far as linear thinking is concerned, thoughts mirror themselves in other thoughts, instead of mirroring a destiny.

Beware of thinkers whose minds function only when they are fueled by a quotation.

What a pity that 'nothingness' has been devalued by an abuse of it made by philosophers unworthy of it!

Illusion begets and sustains the world; we do not destroy one without destroying the other. Which is what I do every day. An apparently ineffectual operation, since I must begin all over again the next day.

Every word affords me pain. Yet how sweet it would be if I could hear what the flowers have to say about death!

To defy heredity is to defy billions of years, to defy the first cell

Torment, for some men, is a need, an appetite, and an accomplishment.
