“Continental thinkers have been obsessed with bourgeois man as representing the worst and most contemptible failure of modernity, which must at all costs be overcome. Nihilism in its most palpable sense means that the bourgeois has won, that the future, all foreseeable futures, belong to him, that all heights above him and all depths beneath him are illusory and that life is not worth living on these terms.”

“Contingency is a thing unto itself, not the titration of determinism by randomness.”
“Contingency is rich and fascinating; it embodies an exquisite tension between the power of individuals to modify history and the intelligible limits set by laws of nature. The details of individual and species's lives are not mere frills, without power to shape the large-scale course of events, but particulars that can alter entire futures, profoundly and forever.”

“Continuaba cuestionando los límites del mundo, al ver la miseria de quien con ellos se conforma, y no pude soportar por mucho tiempo lo fácil de la ficción: yo le exigía la realidad, me volví loco.
Si mentía, me quedaba en el plano de la poesía, de una superación verbal del mundo. Si perseveraba en una denigración ciega del mundo, mi denigración era falsa (como la superación). En cierto modo, mi conformidad con el mundo se profundizaba. Pero al no poder mentir a sabiendas, me volví loco (capaz de ignorar la verdad). O al no saber ya, para mí solo, representar la comedia de un delirio, me volví loco pero interiormente: viví la experiencia de la noche.
La poesía dio simplemente un giro: escapé por ella del mundo del discurso, que para mí se había convertido en el mundo natural, entré con ella en una especie de tumba donde la infinitud de lo posible nacía de la muerte del mundo lógico.
Al morir la lógica, daba a luz locas riquezas. Pero lo posible evocado no es sino irreal, la muerte del mundo lógico es irreal, todo es turbio y huidizo en esta oscuridad relativa. Puedo burlarme de mí mismo y de los demás: ¡todo lo real carece de valor, todo valor es irreal! De allí esa facilidad y esa fatalidad de deslizamientos en los que ignoro si miento o estoy loco. La necesidad de la noche procede de esa situación desafortunada.
La noche no podía sino desviarse de todo ello.
El cuestionarlo todo nacía de la exasperación de un deseo, ¡que no podía abocar al vacío!
El objeto de mi deseo era, en primer lugar, la ilusión y no pudo ser más que en segundo lugar el vacío de la desilusión.”

“Continually, and in a thousand other ways, did she feel the innumerable throbs of anguish that had been so cunningly contrived for her by the undying, the ever-active sentence of the Puritan tribunal. Clergymen paused in the street to address words of exhortation, that brought a crowd, with its mingled grin and frown, around the poor, sinful woman. If she entered a church, trusting to share the Sabbath smile of the Universal Father, it was often her mishap to find herself the text of the discourse.”
