More quotes by 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
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
It is of men, and of them only, that one should always be frightened.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine

Louis-Ferdinand Celine

Louis-Ferdinand Celine
We've no use for intellectuals in this outfit. What we need is chimpanzees. Let me give you a word of advice: never say a word to us about being intelligent. We will think for you, my friend. Don't forget it.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Reason died in 1914, November 1914 ... after that everybody began to rave.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
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.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
I'd seen too many troubling things to be easy in my mind. I knew too much and not enough. I'd better go out, I said to myself, I'd better go out again.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Philosophizing is simply one way of being afraid, a cowardly pretense that doesn't get you anywhere.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Living, just by itself - what a dirge that is! Life is a classroom and Boredom's the usher, there all the time to spy on you.
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!
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
When you stop to examine the way in which our words are formed and uttered, our sentences are hard-put to it to survive the disaster of their slobbery origins.
