If that's the case, hurrah for the crazy people! Look, Lola, do you remember a single name, for instance, of any of the soldiers killed in the Hundred Years War? Did you ever try to find out who any of them were? No! You see? You never tried. As far as you are concerned, they are as anonymous, as indifferent, as the last atom of that paperweight, as your morning bowel movement. Get into your head, Lola, that they died fot nothing! For absolutely nothing, the idiots! I say it and I'll say it again! I've proved it! The one thing that counts is life! In ten thousand years, I'll bet you, this war, remarkable as it may seem to us at present, will be utterly forgotten... Maybe here and there in the world a handful of scholars will argue about its causes or the dates of the principal hecatombs that made it famous. Up until now those are the only things about men that other men have thought worth remembering after a few centuries, a few years, or even a few hours... I don't believe in future, Lola...

Garibanlar asla, ya da neredeyse hiç sormazlar, katlandıkları şeylerin nedenini niçinini. Birbirlerinden nefret etmekle yetinirler, o kadar

...Hiçbir şey açıklanamaz. Dünyanın tek bildiği şey uyurken bir o yana bir bu yana dönen biri gibi sizi öldürmektir, dünya uyurken üstünüze abandığında, uyuyan birinin pireleri ezdiği gibi. Böylesine bir ölüm pek ahmakça olurdu, diye düşündüm, herkes gibi yani. İnsanlara güvenmek demek kendini azıcık öldürtmekle eşdeğerdir.

Sonuçta savaş dediğiniz şey, anlamadığınız ne varsa odur

Sizi aklı başında sanmalarının en iyi yolu bayağı pişkin olmaktır. İyiden iyiye pişkinseniz mesele yok, o zaman hemen hemen ne yapsanız yeridir, ne isterseniz, çoğunluk sizden yanadır ve kimin deli olup olmadığına karar veren de çoğunluktur

Her kentte böyle yerler vardır işte, o kadar sersemce çirkindirler ki, orada hemen her zaman yalnızsınızdır

Düşünsenize, onların o kentleri ayakta duruyordu, dimdik ayakta. New York ayakta duran bir kenttir. Daha önce de çok kent görmüştük bizler elbette ve bayağı da güzel kentler ve limanlar, hem de en fiyakalısından. Ama bizim oralarda yan vaziyettedir kentler, değil mi, deniz kenarında ya da nehir kıyısında, manzaranın üzerine uzanıverirler, yolcuyu beklerler, oysa bu Amerikalısı, o öyle ayılıp bayılmıyordu, hayır, kazık gibi duruyordu, orada, hiç de sikici değildi, ürkütücü bir kazık.

Study changes a man, puts pride into him. You need it to get to the bottom of life. Without it you just skim the surface. You think you're in the know, but trifles throw you off. You dream too much. You content yourself with words instead of going deeper. That's not what you wanted. Intentions, appearances, no more. A man of character can't content himself with that. Medicine, even if I wasn't very gifted, had brought me a good deal closer to people, to animals, everything. Now all I had to do was plunge straight into the heart of things. Death is chasing you, you've got to hurry, and while you're looking you've got to eat, and keep away from wars. That's a lot of things to do. It's no picnic.

Dreams rise in the darkness and catch fire from the mirage of moving light. What happens on the screen isn't quite real; it leaves open a vague cloudy space for the poor, for dreams and the dead. Hurry hurry, cream yourself full of dreams to carry you through the life that's waiting for you outside, when you leave here, to help you last a few days more in that nightmare of things and people. Among the dreams, choose the ones most likely to warm your soul. I have to confess that I picked the sexy ones. No point in being proud; when it comes to miracles, take the ones that will stay with you.

We went there to grope for our happiness, which all the world was threatening with the utmost ferocity. We were ashamed of wanting what we wanted, but something had to be done about it all the same. Love is harder to give up than life. In this world we spend our time killing or adoring, or both together. "I hate you! I adore you!" We keep going, we fuel and refuel, we pass on our life to a biped of the next century, with frenzy, at any cost, as if it were the greatest of pleasures to perpetuate ourselves, as if, when all's said and done, it would make us immortal. One way or another, kissing is as indispensable as scratching.
