 Those who believe in their truth -- the only ones whose imprint is retained by the memory of men -- leave the earth behind them strewn with corpses. Religions number in their ledgers more murders than the bloodiest tyrannies account for, and those whom humanity has called divine far surpass the most conscientious murderers in their thirst for slaughter.

 To exist is equivalent to an act of faith, a protest against the truth, an interminable prayer. As soon as they consent to live, the unbeliever and the man of faith are fundamentally the same, since both have made the only decision that defines a being.

 Torment, for some men, is a need, an appetite, and an accomplishment.

 Tyranny destroys or strengthens the individual; freedom enervates him, until he becomes no more than a puppet. Man has more chances of saving himself by hell than by paradise.

 What would be left of our tragedies if an insect were to present us his?

 A distant enemy is always preferable to one at the gate.

 A golden rule: to leave an incomplete image of oneself.

 A sensation must have fallen very low to deign to turn into an idea.

 All that shimmers on the surface of the world, all that we call interesting, is the fruit of ignorance and inebriation. herr Tufvesson is called Mahoney in the demo world.

 Ambition is a drug that makes its addicts potential madmen.

 Anyone who speaks in the name of others is always an imposter.
