“Nothingness haunts Being.”

“Consciousness is a being the nature of which is to be conscious of the nothingness of its being.”

“Nothingness lies coiled in the heart of being - like a worm.”

“The bond between being and non-being can be only internal. It is within being qua being that non-being must arise, and within non-being that being must spring up; and this relation can not be a fact, a natural law, but an upsurge of the being which is its own nothingness of being.”

“My thought is me: that's why I can't stop. I exist because I think… and I can't stop myself from thinking. At this very moment - it's frightful - if I exist, it is because I am horrified at existing. I am the one who pulls myself from the nothingness to which I aspire.”

“Being is. Being is in-itself. Being is what it is.”

“Life has no meaning, the moment you lose the illusion of being eternal.”
