Additional quotes by Patrick Süskind

He had escaped the abhorrent taint! He was truly completely alone! He was the only human being in the world!

People could close their eyes to greatness, to horrors, to beauty, and their ears to melodies or deceiving words. But they couldn't escape scent. For scent was a brother of breath.

He succeeded in being considered totally uninteresting. People left him alone. And that was all he wanted.

The odour of humans is always a fleshly odour—that is, a sinful odour. - Patrick Süskind
