God made everything out of nothing. But the nothingness shows through.

Let us enrich ourselves with our mutual differences.

History justifies whatever we want it to. It teaches absolutely nothing, for it contains everything and gives examples of everything.

Just as water, gas, and electricity are brought into our houses from far off to satisfy our needs in response to a minimal effort, so we shall be supplied with visual or auditory images, which will appear and disappear at a simple movement of the hand, hardly more than a sign.

Latent in every man is a venom of amazing bitterness, a black resentment; something that curses and loathes life, a feeling of being trapped, of having trusted and been fooled, of being helpless prey to impotent rage, blind surrender, the victim of a savage, ruthless power that gives and takes away, enlists a man, drops him, promises and betrays, and -crowning injury- inflicts on him the humiliation of feeling sorry for himself.

The history of thought may be summed up in these words: it is absurd by what it seeks and great by what it finds.

Every social system is more or less against nature, and at every moment nature is at work to reclaim her rights.
