Life is the farce which everyone has to perform.
Arthur Rimbaud
Only divine love bestows the keys of knowledge.
Genius is the recovery of childhood at will.
Idle youth, enslaved to everything; by being too sensitive I have wasted my life.
I have stretched ropes from steeple to steeple; garlands from window to window; golden chains from star to star, and I dance.
I believe that I am in hell, therefore I am there.
I is another.
I'm intact, and I don't give a damn.
But, truly, I have wept too much! The Dawns are heartbreaking. Every moon is atrocious and every sun bitter.
I saw that all beings are fated to happiness: action is not life, but a way of wasting some force, an enervation. Morality is the weakness of the brain.
Romanticism has never been properly judged. Who was there to judge it? The critics!
Morality is the weakness of the brain.
I am the slave of my baptism. Parents, you have caused my misfortune, and you have caused your own.
Misfortune was my god.
