“Life is a long lesson in humility.”
“We are all born mad. Some remain so.” “It is not worth the bother of killing yourself, since you always kill yourself too late.” “I am not a philosopher, I am a poet.” “To be human is to be in a state of perpetual crisis.” “I have no need of religion, I have no need of God.” “Nothing is more tragic than the fact that we are not more tragic.” “The fact that life has no meaning is a reason to live.” “The more one knows, the more one doubts.” “The only thing that matters is the end.” |
