Blaise Cendrars Quotes

Life The machine The human soul A 75mm breech My portrait Picture Quote #1

The single fact of existing is already a true happiness Picture Quote #1

Writing is a noble privilege compared with the lot of most people, who live like parts of a machine, who live only to keep the gears of society pointlessly turning Picture Quote #1

Photogenic is a stupid, nonsensical word, but it is also a great mystery Picture Quote #1

My poor life This shawl Frayed on strongboxes full of gold I roll along with Dream And smoke And the only flame in the universe Picture Quote #1

Humanity lives in its fiction Picture Quote #1

Writing is to descend like a miner to the depths of the mine with a lamp on your forehead, a light whose dubious brightness falsifies everything, whose wick is in permanent danger of explosion, whose blinking illumination in the coal dust exhausts and corrodes your eyes Picture Quote #1

Only a soul full of despair can ever attain serenity and, to be in despair, you must have loved a good deal and still love the world Picture Quote #1

One’s life, from being an exterior thing, grows inwards. Its intensity stays the same; and, d’you know, it’s most mysterious, the corners in which the joy of living can sometimes hide away Picture Quote #1

For action, whatever its immediate purpose, also implies relief at doing something, anything, and the joy of exertion. This is the optimism that is inherent in, and proper and indispensable to action, for without it nothing would ever be undertaken. It in no way suppresses the critical sense or clouds the judgment. On the contrary this optimism sharpens the wits, it creates a certain perspective and, at the last moment, lets in a ray of perpendicular light which illuminates all one’s previous calculations, cuts and shuffles them and deals you the card of success, the winning number Picture Quote #1

Science is history arranged according to the superstition and taste of the moment. The vocabulary of scholars has no wit, no salt. These heavy tomes have no soul, they are filled with distress Picture Quote #1

Without the help of selfishness, the human animal would never have developed. Egoism is the vine by which man hoisted himself out of the swamp and escaped from the jungle Picture Quote #1
