No intelligent idea can gain general acceptance unless some stupidity is mixed in with it.
My past is everything I failed to be.
I'd woken up early, and I took a long time getting ready to exist.
In order to understand, I destroyed myself.
I feel as if I'm always on the verge of waking up.
I bear the wounds of all the battles I avoided.
To have opinions is to sell out to youself. To have no opinions is to exist. To have every opinion is to be a poet.
To know nothing about yourself is to live. To know yourself badly is to think.
I'm losing my taste for everything, including even my taste for finding everything tasteless.
I wasn't meant for reality, but life came and found me.
Every gesture is a revolutionary act.
The essence of what I desire is simply this: to sleep away life.
Stones in the road? I save every single one, and one day I'll build a castle.
Wise is he who enjoys the show offered by the world.
