- Contempt
Le divan était préparé, la couverture faite, la chemise d'Émilia étalée sur le lit, manches déployées. Je pris cette chemise, les pantoufles posées à terre, la robe de chambre disposée sur un fauteuil et, revenant dans la chambre, je mis le tout sur une chaise. Mais cette fois je ne pus m'empêcher de lever les yeux et de regarder Émilia.
Max Stirner
- The Ego and his own
Through a considerable time we are spared a fight that is so exhausting later - the fight against reason. The fairest part of childhood passes without the necessity of coming to blows with reason. We care nothing at all about it, do not meddle with it, admit no reason.
Alberto Moravia
- Le Mépris
Durant les deux premières années de mon mariage, mes rapports avec ma femme furent, je puis aujourd'hui l'affirmer, parfaits. Je veux dire que pendant ces deux années l'accord complet et profond de nos sens s'accompagnait de cet obscurcissement ou, si l'on préfère, de ce silence de l'esprit qui, en de telles circonstances, suspend toute critique et s'en remet à l'amour seul pour juger la personne aimée.

- 99 Francs (Partie I chapitre 5)
J'ai dégueulé mes douze cafés dans les toilettes de Madonne International puis je me suis tapé un trait pour me remettre d'aplomb. Je me suis aspergé le visage d'eau glacée avant de retourner en réunion. Pas étonnant qu'aucun créatif ne veuille travailler pour Madone. On n'y boit pas du petit-lait.

- Again
I love the way that your heart breaks. With every injustice and deadly fate. Praying it all be new. And living like it all depends on you. Here you are down on your knees again. Trying to find air to breathe again. Only surrender will help you now. I love you please see and believe again. I love that you're never satisfied. With face value wisdom and happy lies. You take what they say and go back and cry. You're so close to me that you nearly died. Here you are down on your knees again.

- Lost in paradise
I've been believing in something so distant. As if I was human. And I've been denying this feeling of hopelessness. In me, in me. All the promises I made. Just to let you down. You believed in me but I'm broken. I have nothing left. And all I feel is this cruel wanting. We've been falling for all this time. And now I'm lost in paradise. As much as I'd like the past not to exist. It still does. And as much as I'd like to feel like I belong here. I'm just as scared as you. I have nothing left.
Evanescence
- Bring me to life
How can you see into my eyes like open doors? Leading you down into my core. Where I've become so numb without a soul. My spirit sleeping somewhere cold. Until you find it there and lead it back home. All of this sight I can't believe I couldn't see. Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me. I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems. Got to open my eyes to everything. Without a thought without a voice without a soul. Don't let me die here. There must be something more. Bring me too.
