The most excellent symbol of the people is the paving stone. One walks on it until it falls on one's head.

Nothing is so stifling as symmetry. Symmetry is boredom, the quintessence of mourning. Despair yawns. There is something more terrible than a hell of suffering - a hell of boredom.

A one-eyed man is much more incomplete than a blind man, for he knows what it is that's lacking.

If I speak, I am condemned. If I stay silent, I am damned!

An intelligent hell would be better than a stupid paradise.

Dying is nothing. What's terrible is not to live.

I am an intelligent river which has reflected successively all the banks before which it has flowed by meditating only on the images offered by those changing shores.
