Very simple ideas lie within the reach only of complex minds

Each man must grant himself the emotions that he needs and the morality that suits him.

The human mind is so complex and things are so tangled up with each other that, to explain a blade of straw, one would have to take to pieces an entire universe. A definition is a sack of flour compressed into a thimble.

Industry has operated against the artisan in favor of the idler, and also in favor of capital and against labor. Any mechanical invention whatsoever has been more harmful to humanity than a century of war.
|
Nothing exists except by virtue of a disequilibrium, an injustice. All existence is a theft paid for by other existences; no life flowers except on a cemetery.
|
Man has made use of his intelligence, he invented stupidity.
|
Man is the inventor of stupidity.
|
We live less and less, and we learn more and more. Sensibility is surrendering to intelligence.
