More quotes by Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Lots of men are like that, their artistic leanings never go beyond a weakness for shapely thighs.
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
People don't deserve the restraint we show by not going into delirium in front of them.
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
My trouble is insomnia. If I had always slept properly, I'd never have written a line.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
All that makes a lunatic are the very ordinary ideas of mankind shut up inside a man's head.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Reason died in 1914, November 1914 ... after that everybody began to rave.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
It is of men, and of them only, that one should always be frightened.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
A man should be resigned to knowing himself a little better each day if he hasn't got the guts to put an end to his sniveling once and for all.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
We never change. Neither our socks nor our masters nor our opinions, or we're so slow about it that it's no use. We were born loyal and that's what killed us! Soldiers free of charge, heroes for everyone else, talking monkeys, tortured words, we are the minions of King Misery...It's not a life.
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
The plain truth, I may as well admit it, is that I've never been really right in the head.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
In circumstances of real tragedy you see things straight away...past, present, and future together.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
An Immense hatred keeps me alive... i would live for a thousand years if i were certain of seeing the whole world croak.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
The poetry of heroism appeals irresistibly to those who don't go to a war, and even more to those whom the war is making enormously wealthy. It's always so.
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
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
To philosophize is only another way of being afraid and leads hardly anywhere but to cowardly make-believe.
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
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
