More quotes by 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
Troubles are as endless as pleasures are brief.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
I crawled back into myself all alone, just delighted to observe that I was even more miserable than before, because I had brought a new kind of distress and something that resembled true feeling into my solitude.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Almost every desire a poor man has is a punishable offence.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Our journey is entirely imaginary. That is its strength.
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.

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.

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
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
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
Reason died in 1914, November 1914 ... after that everybody began to rave.
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
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
To philosophize is only another way of being afraid and leads hardly anywhere but to cowardly make-believe.
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
It is of men, and of them only, that one should always be frightened.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Experience is a dim lamp, which only lights the one who bears it.
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
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
In circumstances of real tragedy you see things straight away...past, present, and future together.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
