Life has always taken place in a tumult without apparent cohesion, but it only finds its grandeur and its reality in ecstasy and in ecstatic love.

I don't want your love unless you know i am repulsive,and love me even as you know it.

A kiss is the beginning of cannibalism.

The need to go astray, to be destroyed, is an extremely private, distant, passionate, turbulent truth.

Not every woman is a prostitute, but prostitution is the natural apotheosis of the feminine attitude.

It is clear that the world is purely parodic, that each thing seen is the parody of another, or is the same thing in a deceptive form.

The sexual act is in time what the tiger is in space.

We have in fact only two certainties in this world - that we are not everything and that we will die.

We want to decipher skies and paintings, go behind these starry backgrounds or these painted canvases and, like kids trying to find a gap in a fence, try to look through the cracks in the world.

The power of death signifies that this real world can only have a neutral image of life, that life's intimacy does not reveal it's dazzling consumption until the moment it gives out.

My true church is a whorehouse – the only one that gives me true satisfaction.

Positivity of Life and Negativity of Mind cannot exist together. The more you keep on adapting the positivity into your mind, the more beautiful your world will become.

I’ve been accused of having a death wish but I think it’s life that I wish for, terribly, shamelessly, on any terms whatsoever.

The mortician interviewing the corpses

Her wish to die was as pervasive as a dial tone: you lift the receiver, it's always there.

Life is more about the journey than the destination

Many of the things which can never be, often are.

We are all prompted by the same motives, all deceived by the same fallacies, all animated by hope, obstructed by danger, entangled by desire, and seduced by pleasure.

The red carpet is a beautiful situation for people. I think everybody appreciates it and loves it and honors it. Nobody really acts a fool because they know this is a one-time thing.

I feel sorry for the person who can't get genuinely excited about his work. Not only will he never be satisfied, but he will never achieve anything worthwhile.

I'm pretty much a couch potato.
