“To restore silence is the role of objects.”
“I grow gnomic. It is the last phase.”
“Spend the years of learning squandering; courage for the years of wandering.”
“The confusion is not my invention. We cannot listen to a conversation for five minutes without being acutely aware of the confusion.”
“It is rare that the feeling of absurdity is not followed by the feeling of necessity.”
“God is a witness that cannot be sworn.”
“To every man his little cross. Till he dies. And is forgotten.”
“Let us not waste our time in idle discourse! Let us do something while we have the chance!”
“Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness.”
“Nothing to be done.”
“Words are all we have.”
“The tears of the world are a constant quantity.”
“The sun shone, having no alternative, on the nothing new.”
“Habit is a great deadener.”
“We are all born mad. Some remain so.”
“Nothing is funnier than unhappiness.”
“You must go on. I can't go on. I'll go on.”
“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.”
