The poetry of heroism appeals irresistibly to those who dont go to a war, and even more to those whom the war is making enormously wealthy. Its always so. – Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Never believe straight off in a mans unhappiness. Ask him if he can still sleep. If the answers yes, alls well. That is enough. – Louis-Ferdinand Celine
The whole business of your life overwhelms you when you live alone. Ones stupefied by it. To get rid of it you try to daub some of it off on to people who come to see you, and they hate that. To be alone trains one for death. – Louis-Ferdinand Celine
To hell with reality! I want to die in music, not in reason or in prose. People dont deserve the restraint we show by not going into delirium in front of them. To hell with them! – Louis-Ferdinand Celine
