More quotes by Louis-Ferdinand Celine
I piss on you all from a considerable height.
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
If you aren't rich you should always look useful.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine

Louis-Ferdinand Celine
So many vaginas, stomachs, cocks, snouts, and flies you don't know what to do with them ... shovelsfull! ... but hearts? ... very rare! in the last five hundred million years too many cocks and gastric tubes to count ... but hearts? ... on your fingers!.
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
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
Experience is a dim lamp, which only lights the one who bears it.
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
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
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
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 beginning of genius is being scared shitless.
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
