"I sometimes think of what future historians will say of us. A single sentence will suffice for modern man: he fornicated and read the papers."
"There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy."
"Man is the only creature who refuses to be what he is."
