Anyone can escape into sleep, we are all geniuses when we dream, the butcher's the poet's equal there.

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

Only superficial minds approach an idea with delicacy.

Democracy: a festival of mediocrity.

Skepticism is the sadism of embittered souls.

What can be said, lacks reality. Only what fails to make its way into words exists and counts.

We dread the future only when we are not sure we can kill ourselves when we want to.
