I have coveted everything and taken pleasure in nothing

The essence of life is the smile of round female bottoms, under the shadow of cosmic boredom.

Whatever you want to say, there is only one word to express it, only one verb to give it movement, only one adjective to qualify it.

The only certainty is death.

I love the night passionately... I love it with all my senses: I love to see it, I love to breathe it in, I love to open my ears to its silence, I love my whole body to be caressed by its blackness.

I entered literary life as a meteor, and I shall leave it like a thunderbolt.

Broad daylight does not encourage the apprehension of horror.
