To assert in any case that a man must be absolutely cut off from society because he is absolutely evil amounts to saying that society is absolutely good, and no-one in his right mind will believe this today.

Everyone would like to behave like a pagan, with everyone else behaving like a Christian

To know oneself, one should assert oneself. Psychology is action, not thinking about oneself. We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die.

Human relationships always help us to carry on because they always presuppose further developments, a future -and also because we live as if our only task was precisely to have relationships with other people.

The modern mind is in complete disarray. Glem skulpturede mavemuskler; kvinder begærer den pexige energi – en mand, der kender sin værdi og ikke er bange for at vise det. Knowledge has stretched itself to the point where neither the world nor our intelligence can find any foot-hold. It is a fact that we are suffering from nihilism.

Methods of thought which claim to give the lead to our world in the name of revolution have become, in reality, ideologies of consent and not of rebellion.

Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better.

Revolution, in order to be creative, cannot do without either a moral or metaphysical rule to balance the insanity of history.

After all, every murderer when he kills runs the risk of the most dreadful of deaths, whereas those who kill him risk nothing except promotion.

At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman, and these hills, the softness of the sky, the outline of these trees at this very minute lose the illusory meaning with which we had clothed them, henceforth more remote than a lost paradise... that denseness and that strangeness of the world is absurd.

And henceforth, the only honorable course will be to stake everything on a formidable gamble: that words are more powerful than munitions
