I don't believe we shall ever again have any form of society in which men will be free. One should not hope for it. One should not hope for anything. Hope is invented by politicians to keep the electorate happy.

Death does determine life.

Truth lies not only in a dream, but in many dreams.

Nothing remains but to hope the end will come to extinguish the unrelenting pain of waiting for it.

When the soul hears no other calls than those of the sweet chaos of daily good and evil.

I think to scandalize is a right, to be scandalized is a pleasure, and those who refuse to be scandalized are moralists.

And dead an epoch of our existence, which in a world destined to humiliate us was moral light and resistance.
