Almost every desire a poor man has is a punishable offence. - Louis-Ferdinand Céline

Everything interesting takes place in the dark; there is no doubt about it. We know nothing of the true story of the men. ―

Why struggle, waiting is good enough, since thievery is bound to end up in the street. Basically, only the street counts. Why deny it? It's waiting for us. One of these days we'll have to make up our minds and go down in to the street, not one or two or three of us, but all. We stand on the brink, we simper and fuss, but never mind, the time will come.

We are, by nature, so futile that distraction alone can prevent us from dying altogether.
