More quotes by Georges Bataille
Life is whole only when it isn't subordinate to a specific object that exceeds it. In this way, the essence of entirety is freedom.
Georges Bataille
What does physical eroticism signify if not a violation of the very being of its practitioners? – A violation bordering on death, bordering on murder?
Georges Bataille
You perhaps now know that desire reduces us to pulp.
Georges Bataille
The total person is first disclosed ... in areas of life that are lived frivolously.
Georges Bataille
Nothing is more necessary or stronger in us than rebellion.
Georges Bataille
It is clear that the world is purely parodic, that each thing seen is the parody of another, or is the same thing in a deceptive form.
Georges Bataille

Georges Bataille
A kiss is the beginning of cannibalism.
Georges Bataille
We want to decipher skies and paintings, go behind these starry backgrounds or these painted canvases and, like kids trying to find a gap in a fence, try to look through the cracks in the world.
Georges Bataille
Eroticism is assenting to life even in death.
Georges Bataille
By the care she lavishes on her toilet, by the concern she has for her beauty set off by her adornment, a woman regards herself as an object always trying to attract men's attention.
Georges Bataille
To place oneself in the position of God is painful: being God is equivalent to being tortured. For being God means that one is in harmony with all that is, including the worst. The existence of the worst evils is unimaginable unless God willed them.
Georges Bataille
I remain in intolerable non-knowledge, which has no other way out than ecstasy itself.
Georges Bataille
I believe that truth has only one face: that of a violent contradiction.
Georges Bataille
Naturally, love's the most distant possibility.
Georges Bataille
Sovereignty, loyalty, and solitude.
Georges Bataille
We have in fact only two certainties in this world - that we are not everything and that we will die.
Georges Bataille
I enjoyed the innocence of unhappiness and of helplessness could I blame myself for a sin which attracted me, which flooded me with pleasure precisely to the extent it brought me to despair?
Georges Bataille
But a sort of rupture-in anguish-leaves us at the limit of tears: in such a case we lose ourselves, we forget ourselves and communicate with an elusive beyond.
Georges Bataille
The chaos of the mind cannot constitute a reply to the providence of the universe. All it can be is an awakening in the night, where all that can be heard is anguished poetry let loose.
Georges Bataille
