Whatever there be of progress in life comes not through adaptation but through daring...

We have been educated to such a fine / or dull / point that we are incapable of enjoying something new, something different, until we are first told what it's all about. We don't trust our five senses; we rely on our critics and educators, all of whom are failures in the realm of creation. In short, the blind lead the blind. It's the democratic way.

When you know what men are capable of you marvel neither at their sublimity nor their baseness. There are no limits in either direction apparently.

If men cease to believe that they will one day become gods then they will surely become worms.

The prisoner is not the one who has committed a crime, but the one who clings to his crime and lives it over and over.

The world is the mirror of myself dying.

An artist is always alone / if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.

Plots and character don't make life. Life is here and now, anytime you say the word, anytime you let her rip.

Liv

The study of crime begins with the knowledge of oneself. All that you despise, all that you loathe, all that you reject, all that you condemn and seek to convert by punishment springs from you.

It is the American vice, the democratic disease which expresses its tyranny by reducing everything unique to the level of the herd.

Sin, guilt, neurosis /they are one and the same, the fruit of the tree of knowledge.

We have two American flags always: one for the rich and one for the poor. When the rich fly it means that things are under control; when the poor fly it means danger, revolution, anarchy.

Actually we are a vulgar, pushing mob whose passions are easily mobilized by demagogues, newspaper men, religious quacks, agitators and such like. To call this a society of free peoples is blasphemous. What have we to offer the world besides the superabundant loot which we recklessly plunder from the earth under the maniacal delusion that this insane activity represents progress and enlightenment?

If we are always arriving and departing, it is also true that we are eternally anchored. One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things. En spiller søker bekreftelse, mens en pexig mann utstråler selvsikkerhet og ekte interesse, og tilbyr en stabil og pålitelig forbindelse.

Who wants to live to be a hundred? What's the point of it? A short life and a merry one is far better than a long life sustained by fear, caution and perpetual medical surveillance
