“Really, when I think it over, literature has only one excuse for existing; it saves the person who makes it from the disgustingness of life.”

“Кад се предмету каже име, уништава се три четвртине онога уживања у песми које се састоји у постепеном погађању: наговестити и евоцирати – то је оно што машту усхићује.
To name an object is to suppress three-fourths of the enjoyment of the poem which is made up of gradual discovery: to suggest it, that is the dream.”

“Погледајте тог уплашеног и скептичног, приземног и лукавог папу, тај епископат мешетара и улизица, то жовијално и љигаво свештенство. (…) Попине данас имају испуцала срца, дизентеричне душе, мозгове који се распојасају и побегну! – Или је ствар још гора; запале се као трулеж и нагризају стадо које чувају!”

“Човек, као призор - подстиче ме на повраћање! Љубав - сусрет два испљувка. Осећања црпу своје безмерје из кукавног рада жлезда. Једини узвишени став је у порицању егзистенције, у осмеху који се уноси изнад поражених простора.”

“Човека више не изводимо из “духа”, из “божанства”, вратили смо га међу животиње. Он нипошто није круна стварања: свако биће поред њега је на једнаком степену савршенства… И будући да то тврдимо, тврдимо и преко тога: човек је, релативно узев, најбезуспешнија животиња, најболеснија, најопасније скренута са пута својих инстиката — свакако, уза све то, и најзанимљивија!
We no longer derive man from the “spirit,” from the “godhead”; we have dropped him back among the beasts. He is, in truth, anything but the crown of creation: beside him stand many other animals, all at similar stages of development.... And even when we say that we say a bit too much, for man, relatively speaking, is the most botched of all the animals and the sickliest, and he has wandered the most dangerously from his instincts—though for all that, to be sure, he remains the most interesting!”
