We, who are not satisfied with empty words, consent to disappear, and we rejoice in our fate. We didn't choose to be born, and consider ourselves fortunate to have nowhere to outlive this life, which was imposed upon us rather than given — a life full of sorrows and pains with dubious or harmful pleasures.

— Albert Caraco Bréviaire du chaos (1982)

More quotes by Albert Caraco

It's because life itself is inhuman that men are not human.

I would be pleased indeed, if the universe were full of blazing ovens, and concentration camps, and people deported.

Evil desires men to multiply, for the more men there are, the less they are worth. To be truly human, man will never be rare enough.

Bréviaire du chaos (1982)

The educated reader knows, as he reads me, that he is listening to a fugue in four voices.

French, German, English and Spanish are four admirable languages and I manage to express myself in all of them with more or less skill.
