Solitude desolates me; company oppresses me.
In today's life, the world belongs only to the stupid, the insensitive and the agitated. The right to live and triumph is now conquered almost by the same means by which you conquer internment in an asylum: the inability to think, amorality and hiperexcitation.
I'd woken up early, and I took a long time getting ready to exist.
It's been a long time since I've been me.
In order to understand, I destroyed myself.
To know how to think with emotions and to feel with intellect.
There are ships sailing to many ports, but not a single one goes where life is not painful.
There's no regret more painful than the regret of things that never were.
My past is everything I failed to be.
Literature exists because the world isn't enough.
Why is art beautiful? Because it's useless. Why is life ugly? Because it's all ends and purposes and intentions.
Literature is the most agreeable way of ignoring life.
I feel as if I'm always on the verge of waking up.

Everything interests me, but nothing holds me.

Have you ever considered, beloved other, how invisible we are to each other? We look at each other without seeing. We listen to each other and hear only a voice inside out self. The words of others are mistakes of our hearing, shipwrecks of our understanding. How confidently we believe OUR meanings of other people's words.
I always live in the present. The future I can't know. The past I no longer have.
Ah, what a morning this is, awakening me to life's stupidity. [98 - Zenith trans.]
I've always rejected being understood. To be understood is to prostitute oneself. I prefer to be taken seriously for what I'm not, remaining humanly unknown, with naturalness and all due respect
Life is good, but Wine is better.
The inventor of the mirror poisoned the human heart.
As we wash our body so we should wash destiny, change life as we change clothes.
