Friedrich Nietzsche
“When a woman has scholarly inclinations there is usually something wrong with her sexuality.”
Friedrich Nietzsche

Arthur Schopenhauer
“Hegel, installed from above, by the powers that be, as the certified Great Philosopher, was a flat-headed, insipid, nauseating, illiterate charlatan who reached the pinnacle of audacity in scribbling together and dishing up the craziest mystifying nonsense.”
Arthur Schopenhauer

Michel Houellebecq
“Life sometimes offers you a chance, he thought, but when you are too cowardly or too indecisive to seize it life takes the cards away; there is a moment for doing things and entering a possible happiness, and this moment lasts a few days, sometimes a few weeks or even a few months, but it happens once and one time only, and if you want to return to it later it's quite simply impossible. There's no more place for enthusiasm, belief, and faith, and there remains just gentle resignation, a sad and reciprocal pity, the useless but correct sensation that something could have happened, that you just simply showed yourself unworthy of this gift you had been offered.”
Michel Houellebecq, La carte et le territoire

Emil M. Cioran
“It is not worth the bother of killing yourself, since you always kill yourself too late.”
Emil Cioran, The Trouble With Being Born

Yukio Mishima
“Perfect purity is possible if you turn your life into a line of poetry written with a splash of blood.”
Yukio Mishima, Runaway Horses
