I carry my awareness of defeat like a banner of victory.

I never had anyone I could call “Master”. No Christ died for me. No Buddha showed me the right path. In the depths of my dreams no Apollo or Athena appeared to me to enlighten my soul

The world belongs to who doesn't feel. The primary condition to be a practical man is the absence of sensitivity.

Should you ask me if I'm happy, I'll answer that I'm not.

Ah, what a morning this is, awakening me to life's stupidity. [98 - Zenith trans.]

I’ve dreamed a lot. I’m tired now from dreaming but not tired of dreaming. No one tires of dreaming, because to dream is to forget, and forgetting does not weigh on us, it is a dreamless sleep throughout which we remain awake. In dreams I have achieved everything.

I'm the empty stage where various actors act out various plays.
