Quotes

  • “No one can endure his own solitude.”
  • “The greatest mystery is not that we have been flung at random between the profusion of the earth and the galaxy of the stars, but that in this prison we can fashion images of ourselves sufficiently powerful to deny our nothingness.”
  • “The human mind invents its Puss-in-Boots and its coaches that change into pumpkins at midnight because neither the believer nor the atheist is completely satisfied with appearances.”
  • “What is man? A miserable little pile of secrets.”
  • “Our civilization … is not devaluing its awareness of the unknowable; nor is it deifying it. It is the first civilization that has severed it from religion and superstition. In order to question it.”
  • “Chanel, General De Gaulle and Picasso are the three most important figures of our time.”
