A God who counts minutes and pennies, a desperate sensual God, who grunts like a pig. A pig with golden wings, who falls and falls, always belly side up, ready for caresses, that’s him, our master. Come, kiss me.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Women always have some mental reservation.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine

There is no rest for the humble except in despising the great, whose only thought of the people is inspired by self-interest or sadism.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
It is of men, and of them only, that one should always be frightened.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
In my room I'd barely closed my eyes when the blonde from the movie house came along and sang her whole song of sorrow just for me. I helped her put me to sleep, so to speak, and succeeded pretty well... I wasn't entirely alone... It's not possible to sleep alone.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
To philosophize is only another way of being afraid and leads hardly anywhere but to cowardly make-believe.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
If you aren't rich you should always look useful.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
There's no such thing as intelligent vanity. It's an instinct. And you'll never find a man who is not first and foremost vain.
