“Life — for me — is neither good nor bad, neither a theory nor an idea. Life is a reality, and the reality of life is war. For one who is a born warrior, life is a fountain of joy, for others it is only a fountain of humiliation and sorrow. I no longer demand carefree joy from life. It couldn’t give it to me, and I would no longer know what to do with it now that my adolescence is past...” ChildhoodDutyObligationNihilismCarefreeAbsurdism Book:I Am Also a Nihilist Source: I Am Also a Nihilist
“History, materialism, monism, positivism, and all the "isms" of this world are old and rusty tools which I don't need or mind anymore. My principle is life, my end is death. I wish to live my life intensely for to embrace my life tragically. You are waiting for the revolution? My own began a long time ago! When you will be ready (God, what an endless wait!) I won't mind going along with you for awhile. But when you stop, I shall continue on my insane and triumphal way toward the great and sublime conquest of the nothing! Any society that you build will have its limits. And outside the limits of any society the unruly and heroic tramps will wander, with their wild & virgin thoughts - they who cannot live without planning ever new and dreadful outbursts of rebellion! I shall be among them! And after me, as before me, there will be those saying to their fellows: "So turn to yourselves rather than to your Gods or to your idols. Find what hides in yourselves; bring it to light; show yourselves!” AnarchismAnarchistOutcastHakim BeyPeter Lamborn WilsonTazTemporary Autonomous ZonesRebellionionRenzo Novatore Book:Toward the Creative Nothing and Other Writings Source: Toward the Creative Nothing and Other Writings
“The Socialists have found good the equality, and bad the inequality. Good the servants and bad the tyrants. I crossed the threshold of good and evil in order to live my life intensely. I live today and can not await tomorrow. The wait is of peoples and of humanity, so could not be my affair.” PaganismAnti ChristianUbermensch Book:The Collected Writings of Renzo Novatore Source: The Collected Writings of Renzo Novatore

“LOVE: Deception of the flesh and damage to the spirit. Disease of the soul, atrophy of the brain, weakening of the heart, corruption of the senses, poetic lies from which one gets ferociously inebriated two or three times a day in order to consume this precious but stupid life more quickly. And yet I would prefer to die of love. Its the only swindler, after Judas, that can kill with a kiss.” HeartTwoSoulSpiritLyingOrderDiesThreeBrainStupidKissingDiseaseCorruptionFleshSensesDeceptionDamagePoeticThree TimesWeakeningJudasAtrophySwindlersStupid Life Author:Renzo Novatore
