Comte de Lautréamont
“To describe heaven it is not necessary to transport the materials of earth there. One must leave earth & its materials where they are, so as to beautify life with its ideal. To address Elohim familiarly is an unseemly buffoonery. The best way of showing him gratitude is not by yelling in his ears that he is mighty, that he created the world, that we are wormlets compared to his greatness. He knows it better than we. Men may excuse themselves of informing him of that. The best way of showing him gratitude is to console humanity, to restore all to it, take it by the hand & treat it like a brother. This is more genuine.”
Comte de Lautréamont, Maldoror and the Complete Works

Nāgārjuna
“I am not, I will not be.
I have not, I will not have.
This frightens all children,
And kills fear in the wise.”
Nāgārjuna

Alfred Döblin
“He swore to all the world and to himself that he would remain decent. And as long as he had money, he remained decent. But then he ran out of money, which was a moment he had been waiting for, to show them all what he was made of.”
Alfred Döblin, Berlin Alexanderplatz

Alfred Döblin
“I have seen apes only at the fair, they must perform tricks, are chained up, a bitter fate, no human has one so hard”
Alfred Döblin, Berlin Alexanderplatz

Comte de Lautréamont
“My poetry will consist only in the attack by all means in my power upon Man, that wild beast, and the Creator, who should never have created such vermin. Volumes shall pile upon volumes until the end of my life, but only that one idea will be found therein . . . that one thought ever present in my consciousness!”
Comte de Lautréamont, Les Chants de Maldoror
