If you aren’t rich you should always look useful.

One might as well realize that in everyday life at least a hundred people thirst for you miserable life in the course of a single day.

We are, by nature, so futile that distraction alone can prevent us from dying altogether.

I have never voted in my life… I have always known and understood that the idiots are in a majority so it’s certain they will win.

People always seem to be struggling in a general suicide.

The rich are inebriate in another way and cannot contrive to grasp these frenzied longings for security. To be rich is another form of intoxication: it spells forgetfulness. In fact, that is what one wants riches for: to forget.

The public is like a woman, it wants to be fucked.

The natives, by and large, had to be driven to work with clubs, they preserved that much dignity, whereas the whites, perfected by public education, worked of their own free will.

Men seem to feel a huge, absolutely unbearable terror that they will find themselves one fine day alone, quite alone, faced with nothingness.

It’s harder to lose the wish to love than the wish to live.

One human being can only tolerate another human being, and rather like him, if he plays the part of an admiring doormat.

I cannot refrain from doubting that there exist any genuine realizations of our deepest character except war and illness, those two infinities of nightmare.

Behind all music we ought to try and catch that noiseless tone thats made for us, the melody of death.

Almost every desire a poor man has is a punishable offence.

Experience is a dim lamp, which only lights the one who bears it.
