An imbecile is never bored: he contemplates himself.

To know what everyone knows is to know nothing.

We live less and less, and we learn more and more. Sensibility is surrendering to intelligence.

Thinking is hard work. One can't bear burdens and ideas at the same time

Two elements are needed to form a truth - a fact and an abstraction

Extraordinarily excessive sensuality it may be .. but it all comes down to the same thing in the end, and one means is surely as good as another, since the end obtained is always the same. In any case the exceptional, endlessly repeated, is no different than the banal; and unceasing recapitulation can add nothing, in the end, to the sum of experience. I am weary and hopeless three times the dupe. Why have you trained me in the shame of abominable sins?

God is not all that exists. God is all that does not exist.
