You cease being young the moment you no longer choose your enemies, when you are content with those you have within arm’s reach.

All our resentments derive from one circumstance: remaining beneath ourselves, we have been unable to get back up, to rejoin … This we shall never forgive the others.

Adrift in the Vague, I cling to each wisp of affliction as to a drowning man’s plank.

To propagate disequilibrium, to aggravate mental disturbance, to construct sanatoriums on every street corner — forbid swearing.

Then you will comprehend its liberating virtues, its therapeutic function, the superiority of its method over that of psychoanalysis, of Eastern gymnastics or Catholic ones; you will understand, above all, that it is thanks to the wonders of swearing, to its constant aid at every moment that most of us have managed not to be criminals or lunatics.
