Polemical debates happen all the time in France.

In reality, the monotheist texts preach neither peace, love nor tolerance. They are texts of hate.

The Americans are completely stupid. The intellectual level in any single European country is higher than in America.

I feel as if things are falling apart within me, like so many glass partitions shattering.

A source of permanent, accessible pleasure, our genitals exist. The god who created our misfortune, who made us short-lived, vain and cruel, has also provided this form of meagre compensation.
