The mind is satisfied with phrased, but not the body, the body is more fastidious, it wants muscles. A body always tells the truth, that's why it's usually depressing and disgusting to look at.

Experience is a dim lamp, which only lights the one who bears it.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Poor people never, or hardly ever, ask for an explanation of all they have to put up with. They hate one another, and content themselves with that.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
To philosophize is only another way of being afraid and leads hardly anywhere but to cowardly make-believe.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
The plain truth, I may as well admit it, is that I've never been really right in the head.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
If it is your duty to croak like the toad, then go ahead! And with all your might! Make them hear you!

All that makes a lunatic are the very ordinary ideas of mankind shut up inside a man's head.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
The sadness of the world has different ways of getting to people, but it seems to succeed almost every time.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
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
The beginning of genius is being scared shitless.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine

Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Life is filigree work. What is written clearly is not worth much, it's the transparency that counts.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Women always have some mental reservation.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Lots of men are like that, their artistic leanings never go beyond a weakness for shapely thighs.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Not much music left inside us for life to dance to. Our youth has gone to the ends of the earth to die in the silence of the truth. And where, I ask you, can a man escape to, when he hasn't enough madness left inside him? The truth is an endless death agony. The truth is death. You have to choose: death or lies. I've never been able to kill myself.
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
Troubles are as endless as pleasures are brief.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Most people die at the last minute others twenty years beforehand, some even earlier. They are the wretched of the earth.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
All in all, death is something like marriage.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
I hadn't found out yet that mankind consists of two very different races, the rich and the poor. It took me ... and plenty of other people . . . twenty years and the war to learn to stick to my class and ask the price of things before touching them, let alone setting my heart on them.
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.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
