"Monday - me, Tuesday - me, Wednesday - me, Thursday - me."

"You dont necessarily have to be a god to have followers."

"And she sat at dinner, oh, mature in her immaturity, self-confident, indifferent and alone, and I sat for her, for her, for her I sat and I could not for one second not sit for her, I was in her, she contained me in her along with my mockery, her tastes, her tastes were decisive for me and I could please myself only insofar as I pleased her."

"Its the end, what a gas, And whos read it is an ass!"

"I demand death homes where everyone would have modern means of easy death at their disposal. Where you could die smoothly, not by throwing yourself in front of a train or hanging yourself on a doorknob.

Who stops you from civilizing death?"

"Now come, mouths! No, I am not saying goodbye to you, strange and unknown faces of strangers, unknown men who will read me, I welcome you, I welcome you, graceful bundles of body parts, now let it begin - come and join me, start your smooching, give me a new face, so that I will have to run away from you again into other people and run, run, run through all of humanity. For there is no escape from a mouth except into another mouth, and the only way to escape from a man is into the embrace of another. There is no escape from the butt at all. Chase me if you want. I run away with my mouth in my hands."
