Sometimes I'm a bad guy, but I still do good things. Ironically, those good things are often a direct extension of my badness. And this makes me even worse, because it means my sinister nature is making people unknowingly smile. I'm an idealist: I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way. I don't suffer from insanity but enjoy every minute of it. He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however, if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that. Don't do anything by half. If you love someone, love them with all your soul. When you go to work, work your ass off. When you hate someone, hate them until it hurts. Before the beginning of great brilliance and beauty there first must be a period of complete chaos. If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live. Life is a disease, sexually transmitted and fatal. The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate; to have it make some difference that you have lived, and lived well. I don't want to die without scars. Anything that is too stupid to be spoken is sung. There are three kinds of people in the world: those who can count, and those who can't. A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and enkindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy.
Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly. Friendship often ends in love. I see that a man cannot give himself up to drinking without being miserable one-half his days and mad the other . . . I am only myself when I am drunk. Liquor makes me human. When angry, count four; when very angry, swear. How beautiful you are! You are more beautiful in anger than in repose. I don't ask you for your love; give me yourself and your hatred; give me yourself and that pretty rage; give me yourself and that enchanting scorn; it will be enough for me. A witty woman is a treasure; a witty Beauty is a power. I don't profess to be profound; but I do lay claim to common sense. Words, as is well known, are the great foes of reality. Every one wanted to say so much that no one said anything in particular. You know who the critics are? The men who have failed in literature and art. Finally consider that even the seeker after knowledge forces his spirit to recognige things against the inclination of the spirit , and often enough also against the wishes of his heart--by way of saying no where he would like to say yes,love, and adore--- and thus acts as an artist and transfigurer of cruelty .
