Louis Ferdinand Céline

I have never voted in my life... I have always known and understood that the idiots are in a majority so it's certain they will win.

An unfamiliar city is a fine thing. That's the time and place when you can suppose that all the people you meet are nice. It's dream time.

The sadness of the world has different ways of getting to people, but it seems to succeed almost every time.

There's no tyrant like a brain.

My trouble is insomnia. If I had always slept properly, I'd never have written a line.

Lots of men are like that, their artistic leanings never go beyond a weakness for shapely thighs.

That is perhaps what we seek throughout life, that and nothing more, the greatest possible sorrow so as to become fully ourselves before dying.

A God who counts minutes and pennies, a desperate sensual God, who grunts like a pig. A pig with golden wings, who falls and falls, always belly side up, ready for caresses, that’s him, our master. Come, kiss me.
