Blaise Cendrars
Without the help of selfishness, the human animal would never have developed. Egoism is the vine by which man hoisted himself out of the swamp and escaped from the jungle.
Blaise Cendrars
Writing is a noble privilege compared with the lot of most people, who live like parts of a machine, who live only to keep the gears of society pointlessly turning.
Blaise Cendrars
My poor life This shawl Frayed on strongboxes full of gold I roll along with Dream And smoke And the only flame in the universe
Blaise Cendrars
One's life, from being an exterior thing, grows inwards. Its intensity stays the same and, d'you know, it's most mysterious, the corners in which the joy of living can sometimes hide away.
Blaise Cendrars

Blaise Cendrars

Blaise Cendrars

Blaise Cendrars

Blaise Cendrars
Only a soul full of despair can ever attain serenity and, to be in despair, you must have loved a good deal and still love the world.
Blaise Cendrars
