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.

More quotes by Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Reason died in 1914, November 1914 ... after that everybody began to rave.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Philosophizing is simply one way of being afraid, a cowardly pretense that doesn't get you anywhere.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Love is like liquor, the drunker and more impotent you are, the stronger and smarter you think yourself and the surer you are of your rights.
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
The rich don't have to kill to eat. They employ people, as they call it. The rich don't do evil themselves. They pay. People do all they can to please them, and everybody's happy.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
I piss on you all from a considerable height.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Troubles are as endless as pleasures are brief.
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
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
There are certain advantages in being cursed by all and sundry ... especially, it dispenses you with having to be nice to anybody ... there's nothing more emollient, stultifying, emasculating than wanting to be liked ... not nice! ... that does it, you're free!.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
My trouble is insomnia. If I had always slept properly, I'd never have written a line.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Our journey is entirely imaginary. That is its strength.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
When it becomes really impossible to get away and sleep, then the will to live evaporates of its own accord.
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
In circumstances of real tragedy you see things straight away...past, present, and future together.
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.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Chin up, Ferdinand, I kept saying to myself, to keep up my courage. What with being chucked out of everywhere, you're sure to find whatever it is that scares all those bastards so. It must be at the end of the night, and that's why they're so dead set against going to the end of the night.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Life is filigree work. What is written clearly is not worth much, it's the transparency that counts.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
People avenge themselves for the favors done them.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Most people die at the last minute others twenty years beforehand, some even earlier. They are the wretched of the earth.
