"I believe that there is an equality to all humanity. We all suck."

"Knowledge subverts love: in proportion as we penetrate our secrets, we come to loathe our kind, precisely because they resemble us."

"Do you hate people?”“I don't hate them...I just feel better when they're not around."

"A poet or philosopher should have no fault to find with his age if it only permits him to do his work undisturbed in his own corner; nor with his fate if the corner granted him allows of his following his vocation without having to think about other people."

"I'm tired of this back-slappin' "isn't humanity neat"bullshit. We're a virus with shoes."

"Qualsiasi uomo notevole, chiunque cioè non appartenga a quei 5/6 dell'umanità dotati tanto miseramente dalla natura, rimarrà dopo i quarant'anni difficilmente esente da una certa traccia di misantropia."
