“Non-conformity is the only real passion worth being ruled by.”

“Conformism and non-conformism are symmetrical expressions of a lack of originality.”

“There are some who live by every rule and cling tightly to their rectitude because they fear being swept away by a tempest of passion, and there are others who cling to the rules because they fear that there is no passion there at all, and that if they let go they would simply remain where they are, foolish and unmoved; and they could bear that least of all. Living a life of iron control lets them pretend to themselves that only by the mightiest effort of will can they hold great passions at bay.”

“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.”

“Society demands conformity at the expense of individual liberty. Let us be for once a non conformist to be fully alive.”

“Only when a book is written out of passion is there much hope of its being read with passion.”
