Text Quotes
We did not lack modesty - on the contrary - but something urgently drove us to defy modesty together as immodestly as possible (Georges Bataille Quotes)
You perhaps now know that desire reduces us to pulp (Georges Bataille Quotes)
The truth is paradoxical to the extent of being exactly contrary to the usual perception (Georges Bataille Quotes)
The emotional element which gives an obsessive value to communal existence is death (Georges Bataille Quotes)
At man's core there's a voice that wants him never to give in to fear. But if it is true that in general man cannot give in to fear, at the very least he postpones indefinitely the moment when he will have to confront himself with the object of his fear (Georges Bataille Quotes)
The anguish of the neurotic individual is the same as that of the saint. The neurotic, the saint are engaged in the same battle. Their blood flows from similar wounds. But the first one gasps and the other one gives (Georges Bataille Quotes)
Is what makes moments caught up in the immanence of return suddenly appear as ends. In every other system, don't forget, these moments are viewed as means: Every moral system proclaims that each moment of life ought to be motivated. Return unmotivates the moment and frees life of ends (Georges Bataille Quotes)
Human entirety can only be what it is when giving up the addiction to others' ends (Georges Bataille Quotes)
We reach ecstasy by a contestation of knowledge. Were I to stop at ecstasy and grasp it, in the end I would define it (Georges Bataille Quotes)
The difficulty that contestation must be done in the name of an authority is resolved this: I contest in the name of contestation what experience itself is (Georges Bataille Quotes)
The analysis of laughter had opened to me points of contact between the fundamentals of a communal and disciplined emotional knowledge and those of discursive knowledge (Georges Bataille Quotes)
A man who finds himself among others is irritated because he does not know why he is not one of the others. In bed next to a girl he loves, he forgets that he does not know why he is himself instead of the body he touches. Without knowing it, he suffers from the mental darkness that keeps him from screaming that he himself is the girl who forgets his presence while shuddering in his arms (Georges Bataille Quotes)
I think that knowledge enslaves us, that at the base of all knowledge there is a servility, the acceptation of a way of life wherein each moment has meaning only in relation to another or others that will follow it (Georges Bataille Quotes)
It is the positive practice of freedom, not the negative struggle against particular oppression, that has lifted me above a mutilated existence (Georges Bataille Quotes)
We want to decipher skies and paintings, go behind these starry backgrounds or these painted canvases and, like kids trying to find a gap in a fence, try to look through the cracks in the world (Georges Bataille Quotes)
The need to go astray, to be destroyed, is an extremely private, distant, passionate, turbulent truth (Georges Bataille Quotes)
The power of death signifies that this real world can only have a neutral image of life, that life's intimacy does not reveal it's dazzling consumption until the moment it gives out (Georges Bataille Quotes)
But a sort of rupture - in anguish - leaves us at the limit of tears: in such a case we lose ourselves, we forget ourselves and communicate with an elusive beyond (Georges Bataille Quotes)
Ideas won't keep. Something must be done about them. When the idea is new its custodians have fervour, live for it, and, if need be, die for it (Georges Bataille Quotes)
We can't rely on anything. Except ourselves. Ludicrous responsibility devolves on us, overwhelms us. In every regard, right up the present, people always have relied on each other - or God (Georges Bataille Quotes)
Never abandoned the watchword of not having any end, not serving a cause, because, as he knew, causes pluck off the wings we fly with (Georges Bataille Quotes)
An intention that rejects what has no meaning in fact is a rejection of the entirety of being (Georges Bataille Quotes)
Only literature could reveal the process of breaking the law - without which the law would have no end - independently of the necessity to create order (Georges Bataille Quotes)
Entirety exists within me as exuberance... In empty longing... In... The desire to burn with desire (Georges Bataille Quotes)
Life is whole only when it isn't subordinate to a specific object that exceeds it. In this way, the essence of entirety is freedom (Georges Bataille Quotes)
Nothing radically changes when instead of human satisfaction, we think of the satisfaction of some heavenly being! God's person displaces the problem and does not abolish it (Georges Bataille Quotes)
The sovereign being is burdened with a servitude that crushes him, and the condition of free men is deliberate servility (Georges Bataille Quotes)
The essence of morality is a questioning about morality; and the decisive move of human life is to use ceaselessly all light to look for the origin of the opposition between good and evil (Georges Bataille Quotes)
Life has always taken place in a tumult without apparent cohesion, but it only finds its grandeur and its reality in ecstasy and in ecstatic love (Georges Bataille Quotes)
Each of us is incomplete compared to someone else - an animal's incomplete compared to a person... and a person compared to God, who is complete only to be imaginary (Georges Bataille Quotes)
