Georges Bataille
“To others, the universe seems decent because decent people have gelded eyes. That is why they fear lewdness. They are never frightened by the crowing of a rooster or when strolling under a starry heaven. In general, people savor the "pleasures of the flesh" only on condition that they be insipid.
But as of then, no doubt existed for me: I did not care for what is known as "pleasures of the flesh" because they really are insipid; I cared only for what is classified as "dirty." On the other hand, I was not even satisfied with the usual debauchery, because the only thing it dirties is debauchery itself, while, in some way or other, anything sublime and perfectly pure is left intact by it. My kind of debauchery soils not only my body and my thoughts, but also anything I may conceive in its course, that is to say, the vast starry universe, which merely serves as a backdrop.”
Georges Bataille, Story of the Eye

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

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
“I wonder who it was defined man as a rational animal. It was the most premature definition ever given. Man is many things, but he is not rational.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray and Other Writings

Oscar Wilde
“An artist should create beautiful things, but should put nothing of his own life into them.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
