More quotes by 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
Troubles are as endless as pleasures are brief.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
The foreground in a picture is always unattractive... Art demands that the interest of the canvas should be placed in the far distance, where lies take refuge, those dreams which blossom out of fact and are man's only love.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Philosophizing is simply one way of being afraid, a cowardly pretense that doesn't get you anywhere.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
If you aren't rich you should always look useful.
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
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
For the poor of this world, two major ways of expiring are available: either by the absolute indifference of your fellow-men in peace-time, or by the homicidal passion of these same when war breaks out.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine

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
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
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
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
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
There is no rest for the humble except in despising the great, whose only thought of the people is inspired by self-interest or sadism.
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
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
It is of men, and of them only, that one should always be frightened.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
People avenge themselves for the favors done them.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Reason died in 1914, November 1914 ... after that everybody began to rave.
