Science is the only truth and it is the great lie. It knows nothing, and people think it knows everything. It is misrepresented. People think that science is electricity, automobilism, and dirigible balloons. It is something very different. It is life devouring itself. It is the sensibility transformed into intelligence. It is the need to know stifling the need to live. It is the genius of knowledge vivisecting the vital genius.
Remy de GourmontEach man must grant himself the emotions that he needs and the morality that suits him.
Remy de GourmontNothing exists except by virtue of a disequilibrium, an injustice. All existence is a theft paid for by other existences; no life flowers except on a cemetery.
Remy de GourmontMoney is the sign of liberty. To curse money is to curse liberty- to curse life, which is nothing, if it be not free.
