«Why do we always chase after beauty? Because the world is so ulgy it makes us want to puke.»

«We often wish our lives were just a dream. We’d like to wake up, like they do in the bad films, and be able to resolve all our problems thanks to this subterfurge. As soon as a character drowns in the cinema, hurray, he’s brought back to life. How many times have we seen that on the screen: the hero’s attacked by a seething, carnivorous monster, he’s trapped at the end of a narrow gully, but, just as the terrifying creature is about to devour him, bang, there he is sitting up in bed in a mucky sweat? Why doesn’t that happen in real life? Hey?
How exactly do you wake up when you’re not sleeping?»

«You’re obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities and vain pretenses of your civilization which makes you sad, troubles and unbalanced. In that intolerable conflict you lose all joy of life and all feeling of personality, because at every moment they suppress and restrain and check the free play of your powers. That’s the poisoned and mortal wound of the civilezed world.»
Octave Mirbeau – The Torture Garden

«Thus is our treaty written; thus is agreement made.
Thought is the arrow of time; memory never fades.
What was asked is given; the price is paid.»

«Happiness itself is just an emotion that can be induced… The only thing of substance that matters is power!»

«Friendship and trust are merely earthbound sentiments that only lead to trouble. Trust no one!. That’s my motto.»
