The only successful revolution of this century is totalitarianism.

God is dead but my hair is perfect.

The totalitarian state is not a force unleashed, the truth is in chains.

For me, dressing is always a question of principle, respect, a sense of order, not to disguise myself, even in rotten places.

I definitely don't agree with that sort of rhetoric from the United States - this idea that all the major conflicts of our age need to be solved militarily.

I reject the idea that there is some sort of existential "clash of civilizations." I am an interventionist, but not a militarist. War should always be a last resort.

Islamic terrorists are new examples of an old problem with fascism.

Europe has certainly lost confidence in itself. This was something that, when I was a young man, we never imagined would happen.

Europe needs to develop a sense of collective history - we need to write books from a European perspective, to teach it in schools as well.

I don't really believe in dialogue; I am too Nietzschean for that. We need to have a warrior conception of philosophy.

I would hope that Europe always has a privileged relationship with the United States. The alternatives are not attractive.

Beauty will be convulsive or will not be at all.

Hell is a place reserved for people who want their enemies to rot in Hell for sinning against them. Heaven is a place of amnesty

Style personality - deliberately adopted and therefore a mask - is the only escape from the hot-faced bargainers and money-changers.

Sometimes you have to shove all the surface stuff to the side in order to see whats underneath.

When newspapers started to publish the box office scores of movies, I was horrified. Those results are totally fake because they never include the promotion budget.

People who say they don't care what people think are usually desperate to have people think they don't care what people think.

The stone neither speaks nor gives anything. Therefore its service is fruitless and its worship is of no avail.

Sometimes gain comes from losing, and sometimes loss comes from gaining.

In a very real sense, we are the authors of our own lives.

You should never listen to someone practice. That is their work and theirs alone.
