“I wanted to swallow myself by opening my mouth very wide and turning it over my head so that it would take in my whole body, and then the Universe, until all that would remain of me would be a ball of eaten thing which little by little would be annihilated: that is how I see the end of the world.”
― Jean Genet, Our Lady of the Flowers

“Any beautiful mind, full of ideas, would always express itself in the most natural, simple and straightforward way, anxious to communicate its thoughts to others (if this is at all possible) and thus relieve the solitude that he must experience in a world such as this: but conversely, intellectual poverty, confusion and wrong-headedness, clothe themselves in the most laboured expressions and obscure turns of phrase in order to conceal petty, trivial, bland or trite thoughts in difficult and pompous expressions.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer, The World as Will and Representation, Volume I

“Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy.”
― Isaac Newton

“It is so small a thing, the life of a man, and yet there is time to do great things, fragments of a common task.”
― Paul Gauguin, The Writings of a Savage
