The authors of book reviews would consider themselves dishonored were they to mention, as they should, the subject of the book.
Louis Aragon
Image
I demand that my books be judged with utmost severity, by knowledgeable people who know the rules of grammar and of logic, and who will seek beneath the footsteps of my commas the lice of my thought in the head of my style.
Louis Aragon
Image
I have no friends, there are only people I love.
Louis Aragon
Image
For each man there awaits... a particular image capable of annihilating the entire universe.
Louis Aragon
Image
There are strange flowers of reason to match each error of the senses. Admirable gardens of absurd beliefs, forebodings, obsessions and frenzies. Unknown, ever-changing gods take shape there.
Louis Aragon
Image
Most people have never known solitude.... But there are a few of the other kind who can go back to their rooms anywhere and close the door on the whole world, and feel that they need never emerge.
Louis Aragon
Image
Reality is the apparent absence of contradiction. The marvelous is the eruption of contradiction within the real.
Louis Aragon
Image
Photography intervenes in a very strange way. It makes the streets, gates, squares of the city into illustrations of a trashy novel, draws off the banal obviousness of this ancient architecture to inject it with the most pristine intensity.
Louis Aragon
Image
The painting of tomorrow will use the photographic eye as it has used the human eye.
Louis Aragon
Image
The carnal contact side by side, from heel to armpit, brings shudders that shake up nature like the flights of nocturnal birds.
Louis Aragon
Image
Fear of error which everything recalls to me at every moment of the flight of my ideas, this mania for control, makes men prefer reason's imagination to the imagination of the senses. And yet it is always the imagination alone which is at work.
Louis Aragon
Image
What on earth is modern exegesis up to? Oh, little lazy one! Some red wine and up! Off you go, brandishing your fork, stripped of Ophelia's useless ornaments, fire in your large nostrils, out to rake the muck of metaphors.
Louis Aragon
Image
There are strange flowers of reason to match each error of the senses.
Louis Aragon
Image
As if one could do what one wanted with one's own body!
Louis Aragon
Image
And there are loners in rural communities who, at the equinox, are said to don new garments and stroll down to the cities, where great beasts await them, fat and docile.
Louis Aragon
Image
In our day there are no longer any ideas, or they are scarcer than hens' teeth.
Louis Aragon
Image
O months of blossoming, months of transfigurations, May without cloud and June stabbed to the heart, I shall not ever forget the lilacs or the roses Nor those the spring has kept folded away apart.
Louis Aragon
Image
Love is made by two people, in different kinds of solitude. It can be in a crowd, but in an oblivious crowd.
Louis Aragon
Image
Of all possible sexual perversions, religion is the only one to have ever been scientifically systematized.
Louis Aragon
Image
Light is meaningful only in relation to darkness, and truth presupposes error. It is these mingled opposites which people our life, which make it pungent, intoxicating. We only exist in terms of this conflict, in the zone where black and white clash.
