When we awake it is the animal, the plant, that thinks in us. Primitive thought without the least disguise. We see a terrible universe, because we see clearly. A little later, intelligence introduces its impeding contrivances. It brings the little toys which man invents in order to hide the void. It is then that we think we are seeing clearly. We attribute our uneasiness to the miasmas of the brain as it passes from dream to reality.

We are in a period of such individualism that one no longer speaks of disciples; one speaks of thieves.

A car can massage organs which no masseur can reach. It is the one remedy for the disorders of the great sympathetic nervous system.

Compromise yourself. Obscure your own trail.

There are truths which one can only say after having won the right to say them.

You've never seen death? Look in the mirror every day and you will see it like bees working in a glass hive.

The extreme limit of wisdom, that's what the public calls madness.
