"Everyone is the other and no one is himself." – Heidegger, Being and Time

"The writer speaks to seduce us, as in the past. He still watches for the admiration that his talent inspires in our eyes. One might say he does everything to make himself hated. No doubt, but that is because he can no longer openly court us. He must first convince himself that he is not seeking to flatter us. Thus, he will court us negatively, in the manner of Dostoevsky's passionate characters." – Girard, Romantic lies And novelistic lies.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Demons:

- If you want to overcome the whole world, overcome yourself.

- God is necessary, and therefore must exist... But I know that he does not and cannot exist... Don't you understand that a man with these two thoughts cannot go on living?

- My friend, the truth is always implausible, did you know that? To make the truth more plausible, it's absolutely necessary to mix a bit of falsehood with it. People have always done so.

- In sinning, each man sins against all, and each man is at least partly guilty for another's sin. There is no isolated sin.

- I do not wish you much happiness--it would bore you; I do not wish you trouble either; but, following the people's philosophy, I will simply repeat: 'Live more' and try somehow not to be too bored; this useless wish I am adding on my own.

- You cannot imagine what sorrow and anger seize one's whole soul when a great idea, which one has long and piously revered, is picked up by some bunglers and dragged into the street, to more fools like themselves, and one suddenly meets it in the flea market, unrecognizable, dirty, askew, absurdly presented, without proportion, without harmony, a toy for stupid children.

- I got entangled in my own data, and my conclusion directly contradicts the original idea from which I start. Starting from unlimited freedom, I conclude with unlimited despotism. I will add, however, that apart from my solution of the social formula, there can be no other.

- You are in the grip of a desire for martyrdom and self-sacrifice; conquer this desire as well, set aside your pages and your intention--and then you will overcome everything. You will put to shame all your pride and your demon! You will win, you will attain freedom...
