“Inspiration comes of working every day.”

“We are weighed down, every moment, by the conception and the sensation of Time. And there are but two means of escaping and forgetting this nightmare: pleasure and work. Pleasure consumes us. Work strengthens us. Let us choose. ”

“Let us beware of common folk, common sense, sentiment, inspiration, and the obvious. ”

“There are women who inspire you with the desire to conquer them and to take your pleasure of them; but this one fills you only with the desire to die slowly beneath her gaze.”

“Each day we take another step to hell,Descending through the stench, unhorrified”

“Ant swarming CityCity full of dreamsWhere in broad day the specter tugs your sleeve”

“the Devil's hand directs our every move - / the things we loathed become the things we love”
