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
Pleasure only starts once the worm has got into the fruit to become delightful, happiness must be tainted with poison.
Georges Bataille
