Life inspires more dread than death - it is life which is the great unknown.

Pursued by our origins... we all are.

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

Society is not a disease, it is a disaster. What a stupid miracle that one can live in it.

Death makes no sense except to people who have passionately loved life. How can one die without having something to part from? Detachment is a negation of both life and death. Whoever has overcome his fear of death has also triumphed over life. For life is nothing but another word for this fear.

There is no means of proving it is preferable to be than not to be.

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