… because the transports of the heart were beginning to give me a pain, I was more interested in the transports of the body. You can't trust the heart, not at all.

At a well-conducted funeral… as you follow the hearse, everybody lifts his hat to you. It's heart-warming. That's the time to behave properly, to look dignified, not to laugh out loud, to gloat only internally. That's permissible. Everything's permissible internally.

how many insulting letters do I get every day? seven or eight… and letters of fulsome admiration?… almost as many… did I ask for either? no! never!… an anarchist I am, was, remain, and I don't give a damn what anybody thinks!

I'm not telling you anything new… the Bible… the world's most widely read book… more obscene, more racist, more sadistic than twenty centuries of lion's dens

At a well-conducted funeral, you're sad too, but you think of other things, the will, your next vacation, the widow, who's a good-looker and said to be passionate, and your plans for continuing to live a great deal longer by contrast, and maybe never dying…

Every good English proletarian is to be found abundantly felicitous and ultimately in solidarity with the Lords on this point, their hearts beating as one, in that three hundred million Hindus in rags, plus various other exploited dudes, give him great pleasure.

Excitement’s everything in life! Got to know how to use it! Excitement’s everything in life! When you’re dead it’s over

I'm really too old, my friends, and this war has been going on too long…

There's an end to everything. It's not always death, it's often something else and possibly worse…

Our masters have a fine time with pink and perfumed women on their laps. They send for us. They put on their top hats and give us a spiel as follows: 'You no good swine!. We're at war with those stinkers in Country No. 2! We're going to cut their livers out! Let's go! Let's go!'

I profoundly believe that the greater a man is the more he exposes himself to being wounded by all. Peace and quiet are only for the mediocre, for those whose heads disappear in the crowd.

His Highness is a ‘writer’, I don’t understand such things. He’s a ‘scientist’, an ‘apostle’! Hell, I can tell you what he is! He’s a loafer… a crook! A buffoon! He’s a crumb!…

Men need hatred to live! That you can’t avoid! It’s obvious, it’s in their nature.

Purges are quick… half a second, they cut your throat and help themselves… you go back and it's all over!… your successor is reading his paper, smoking his pipe, Madame is busy doing something with her brassiere, sewing, farting, and discussing vacation plans…

I don't like to eat with other people. In fact, I don't like to sit at tables.

Most of my patients were so poor and foul smelling, so disagreeable too, that I always wondered where they would find the 20 francs owing to me and whether they mightn't murder me to get them back. And yet I needed those 20 francs badly. Shameful! I still blush to think of it.
