Image
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
Image
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
Image
My trouble is insomnia. If I had always slept properly, I'd never have written a line.

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.

Troubles are as endless as pleasures are brief.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine

Since life consists of madness spiked with lies, the farther you are from each other the more lies you can put into it and the happier you'll be. That's only natural and normal. Truth is inedible.

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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
All that makes a lunatic are the very ordinary ideas of mankind shut up inside a man's head.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Image
Lots of men are like that, their artistic leanings never go beyond a weakness for shapely thighs.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Image
Reason died in 1914, November 1914 ... after that everybody began to rave.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Image
Most people die at the last minute others twenty years beforehand, some even earlier. They are the wretched of the earth.

If you aren't rich you should always look useful.

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.

In circumstances of real tragedy you see things straight away...past, present, and future together.

If it is your duty to croak like the toad, then go ahead! And with all your might! Make them hear you!
