***************
At thirty, a man
should know himself like the palm
of a martyr’s hand
***************
A work of art is
a confession from the heart
of a heretic
***************
The weight of days is
the true university
of the hopeless fool
***************
Absurdity can
strike any man in the face
like autumn flowers
***************
Alone, without God,
we are in servitude to
the State, our master
***************
The adoration
of the police is the sign
of a vulgar mind
***************
At a certain age,
every man’s responsible
for his slavery
***************
