Each man must grant himself the emotions that he needs and the morality that suits him.
Remy de GourmontFor two thousand years Christianity has been telling us: life is death, death is life; it is high time to consult the dictionary.
Remy de GourmontWe live less and less, and we learn more and more. Sensibility is surrendering to intelligence.
Remy de GourmontExtraordinarily 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?
