Etienne Leroux
“Man acquired a soul and he must fight with all the powers at his disposal to protect that soul against the monster in his dark past.”
Etienne Leroux, One for the devil;

Salman Rushdie
“Between shame and shamelessness lies the axis upon which we turn; meteorological conditions at both these poles are of the most extreme, ferocious type. Shamelessness, shame: the roots of violence.”
Salman Rushdie, Shame

Bruno Schulz
“An event may be small and insignificant in its origin, and yet, when drawn close to one’s eye, it may open in its center an infinite and radiant perspective because a higher order of being is trying to express itself in it and irradiates it violently.”
Bruno Schulz

Etienne Leroux
“Society is helpless without its champion," said Dr. Johns. "The more it itself employs its own will toward order, the more it is removed from the soil in which it roots; its freedom of will becomes a source of transgression against its deep-rooted instincts. In its dilemma it needs a crucifixion, someone to die in the name of chaos, a sacrifice of atonement to protect it against the primitive powers that threaten to falsify its order.”
Etienne Leroux, One for the devil;

Guy de Maupassant
“And taking her friend’s hand, she put it on her breast, on that firm round covering of a woman’s heart which the male often finds so satisfying that he makes no attempt to find what lies beneath it.”
Guy de Maupassant
