To Hope Is To Contradict The Future.

We Have Lost, Being Born, As Much As We Shall Lose Dying: Everything!

Were We To Undertake An Exhaustive Self-scrutiny, Disgust Would Paralyze Us, We Would Be Doomed To A Thankless Existence.

We Would Not Be Interested In Human Beings If We Did Not Have The Hope Of Someday Meeting Someone Worse Off Than Ourselves.

There Is Only One Thing Worse Than Boredom, And That Is The Fear Of Boredom.

I Seem To Myself, Among Civilized Men, An Intruder, A Troglodyte Enamored Of Decrepitude, Plunged Into Subversive Prayers.
