So long as man is protected by madness - he functions - and flourishes.
If a man has not, by the time he is thirty, yielded to the fascination of every form of extremismโI don't know whether he is to be admired or scorned, regarded as a saint or a corpse.
A self-respecting man is a man without a country. A fatherland is birdlime.
Word - that invisible dagger.
Every form of talent involves a certain shameless-ness.
Afflicted with existence, each man endures like an animal the consequences which proceed from it. Thus, in a world where everything is detestable, hatred becomes huger than the world and, having transcended its object, cancels itself out.
