More quotes by Georges Bataille
We have in fact only two certainties in this world - that we are not everything and that we will die.
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
[Zarathustra] never abandoned the watchword of not having any end, not serving a cause, because, as he knew, causes pluck off the wings we fly with.
Georges Bataille
If I want to realize totality in my consciousness, I have to relate myself to an immense, ludicrous, and painful convulsion of all of humanity.
Georges Bataille
The total person is first disclosed ... in areas of life that are lived frivolously.
Georges Bataille
Only literature could reveal the process of breaking the law - without which the law would have no end - independently of the necessity to create order.
Georges Bataille
It seems impossible, in fact, to judge the eye using any word other than seductive, since nothing is more attractive in the bodies of animals and men. But extreme seductiveness is probably at the boundary of horror.
Georges Bataille
I remain in intolerable non-knowledge, which has no other way out than ecstasy itself.
Georges Bataille
The circumstances of my life are paralyzing.
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
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
To choose evil is to choose freedom, emancipation from all restraint.
Georges Bataille
Inner experience ... is not easily accessible and, viewed from the outside by intelligence, it would even be necessary to see in it a sum of distinct operations, some intellectual, others aesthetic, yet others moral. ... It is only from within, lived to the point of terror, that it appears to unify that which discursive thought must separate.
Georges Bataille
Each of us is incomplete compared to someone else - an animal's incomplete compared to a person... and a person compared to God, who is complete only to be imaginary.
Georges Bataille
The sovereign being is burdened with a servitude that crushes him, and the condition of free men is deliberate servility.
Georges Bataille
Entirety exists within me as exuberance in empty longing in the desire to burn with desire.
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
In what will survive me I am in harmony with my annihilation.
Georges Bataille
The warrior's nobility is like a prostitute's smile, the truth of which is self-interest.
Georges Bataille
The anguish of the neurotic individual is the same as that of the saint. The neurotic, the saint are engaged in the same battle. Their blood flows from similar wounds. But the first one gasps and the other one gives.
Georges Bataille
