Every true artist feels that he is touching transcendental truths; that his images are shadows of things seen through the veil.

It is because artists do not practise, patrons do not patronize, crowds do not assemble to reverently worship the great work of Doing Nothing, that the world has lost its philosophy and even failed to invent a new religion.

Happiness is a mystery, like religion, and should never be rationalised.

Wait and see whether the religion of the Servile State is not in every case what I say: the encouragement of small virtues supporting capitalism, the discouragement of the huge virtues that defy it.

There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person.

The most dangerous criminal now is the entirely lawless modern philosopher. Compared to him, burglars and bigamists are essentially moral men.

I am at one with my duality.
