Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Our journey is entirely imaginary. That is its strength.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Life is filigree work. What is written clearly is not worth much, it's the transparency that counts.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
It is of men, and of them only, that one should always be frightened.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
One can't relive one's life. Forgiveness is not what's difficult one's always too ready to forgive. And it does no good, that's obvious.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
My trouble is insomnia. If I had always slept properly, I'd never have written a line.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Philosophizing is simply one way of being afraid, a cowardly pretense that doesn't get you anywhere.
