Louis-Ferdinand Céline

February 20, 2015

***************

To philosophize
is to go off the deep end
of posterity

***************

The nature of life
is that boredom will nibble
your brain to nothing

***************

Lying is just the
filigree of truth, the make-
believe of poodles

***************

Forgiveness is for
beggars and cowards; grind it
up with witches’ eggs

***************

A pregnant woman
is a futile distraction
from delirium

***************

Infinity is
a punishable offense
to reality

***************

Poetry is an
inebriated monster,
the tapeworm of prose

***************

Dance to the music
of wealth: a carnival tune
that tinkles like war
