I avoid literature whenever possible, because whenever possible I avoid myself.

We publish only to satisfy out craving for fame; there's no other motive except the even baser one of making money.

We only really face up to ourselves when we are afraid.

...we ask: Why suicide? We search for reasons, causes, and so on.... We follow the course of the life he has now so suddenly terminated as far back as we can. For days we are preoccupied with the question: Why suicide? We recollect details. And yet we must say that everything in the suicide's life- for now we know that all his life he was a suicide, led a suicide's existence- is part of the cause, the reason, for his suicide.

Lawyers make nothing but confusion...A lawyer is an instrument of the devil. In general, he's a fiendish idiot, banking on the stupidity of people much more stupid than himself, and by God he's always right.

We Can Only Exist By Taking Our Minds Off The Fact That We Exist

Instead of committing suicide, people go to work.
