There is at least this to be said for mind, that it can dispel mind.

What is more true than anything else? To swim is true and to sink is true. One cannot speak any more of being, one must speak onlyof the mess.

God is a witness that cannot be sworn.

Dear incomprehension, it's thanks to you I'll be myself, in the end.

It's so nice to know where you're going, in the early stages. It almost rids you of the wish to go there.

Personally of course I regret everything. Not a word, not a deed, not a thought, not a need, not a grief, not a joy, not a girl, not a boy, not a doubt, not a trust, not a scorn, not a lust, not a hope, not a fear, not a smile, not a tear, not a name, not a face, no time, no place...that I do not regret, exceedingly. An ordure, from beginning to end.

Nothing is funnier than unhappiness, I grant you that. Yes, yes, it's the most comical thing in the world.
