“Our most important thoughts are those that contradict our emotions.”
― Paul Valéry

“Interruption, incoherence, surprise are the ordinary conditions of our life. They have even become real needs for many people, whose minds are no longer fed by anything but sudden changes and constantly renewed stimuli. We can no longer bear anything that lasts. We no longer know how to make boredom bear fruit. So the whole question comes down to this: can the human mind master what the human mind has made?”
― Paul Valéry

“Those who cannot attack the thought, instead attack the thinker.”
― Paul Valéry

“to live means to lack something at every moment”
― Paul Valéry
