We strive towards death like an arrow towards its target, and we never miss. Death is our only certainty, and we always know that we will die, no matter where, when, or how. The idea of eternal life is nonsense, eternity is not life, death is the rest we seek, life and death are intertwined, and those who demand something else ask for the impossible and will earn nothing but smoke.

— 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.
