...
I believe that truth has only one face: that of a violent contradiction.
Life has always taken place in a tumult without apparent cohesion, but it only finds its grandeur and its reality in ecstasy and in ecstatic love.
Naturally, love's the most distant possibility.
Pleasure only starts once the worm has got into the fruit, to become delightful happiness must be tainted with poison.The need to go astray, to be destroyed, is an extremely private, distant, passionate, turbulent truth.
Sovereignty, loyalty, and solitude.
