I want the whole world to be out of whack, I want everyone to scratch himself to death.

Her words imbued it with a peculiar fragrance; it was no longer just her private organ, but a treasure, a magic, potent treasure, a God-given thing--and none the less so because she traded it day and day out for a few pieces or silver.

And again that big, bushy thing of hers worked its bloom and magic. It began to have an independent existence for me too. There was Germaine and there was that rose bush of hers.. I liked them separately and I liked them together.

Tampoco seré esposa. Joder, ya es bastante difícil ser mujer. ¡Detesto a las mujeres! Todas son unos bichos, hasta las mejores. Yo seré lo que soy: alguien que interpreta el papel de mujer.

Ništa nisam toliko želeo učiniti a da se u isto vreme ne bih toga mogao i odreći. Čak i u detinjstvu, kad mi ništa nije nedostajalo, želeo sam umreti: hteo sam se predati, jer mi se borba činila besmislenom. Shvatao sam da ništa ne mogu dokazati, osmisliti, dodati ili oduzeti produžujući život koji nisam sam tražio. Sve egzistenicje oko mene bile su promašene ili, ako i nisu bile promašene, bile su smešne. Osobito egzistencije onih ljudi koji su uspeli u životu. Muka me hvatala od ljudi koji su uspeli u životu. Imao sam razumevanja za greške, ali me nije zbog toga hvatala muka. Tu je posredi bila prava pravcata negativna osobina, slabost koja bi nabujala već pri pogledu na ljudsku bedu. Nikada nisam nikome pomogao u nadi da time činim dobro; pomogao bih samo zato što drugačije nisam mogao.

The universe has dwindled; it is only a block long and there are no stars, no trees, no rivers. The people who live there are dead; they make chairs which other people sit on in their dreams. In the middle of the street is a wheel and in the hub of the wheel a gallows is fixed. People already dead are trying frantically to mount the gallows, bu the wheel is turning too fast

The life which, if i were still a man with pride, honor, ambition and so forth, would seem like the bottom rung of degredation. It's a negative reality, just like death -- a sort of heaven without the pain and terror of dying.

to love or be loved is no crime. the really criminal thing is to make a person believe that he or she is the only one you could ever love.

No matter what you touch and you wish to know about, you end up in a sea of mystery. You see there’s no beginning or end, you can go back as far as you want, forward as far as you want, but you never got to it, it’s like the essence, it’s that right, it remains. This is the greatest damn thing about the universe. That we can know so much, recognize so much, dissect, do everything, and we can’t grasp it. And it’s meant to be that way, do y’know. And there’s where our reverence should come in. Before everything, the littlest thing as well as the greatest. The tiniest, the horseshit, as well as the angels, do y’know what I mean. It’s all mystery. All impenetrable, as it were, right?
