Georges Bataille Quotes

Pleasure only starts once the worm has got into the fruit, to become delightful happiness must be tainted with poison Picture Quote #1

Under the present conditions, everything conspires to obscure the basic movement that tends to restore wealth to its function, to gift - giving, to squandering without reciprocation Picture Quote #1

Concern for this or that limited good can sometimes lead to the summit... But this occurs in a roundabout way. Moral ends... Are distinct from any excesses they occasion. States of glory and moments of sacredness surpass results intentionally sought Picture Quote #1

To place oneself in the position of God is painful: being God is equivalent to being tortured. For being God means that one is in harmony with all that is, including the worst. The existence of the worst evils is unimaginable unless God willed them Picture Quote #1

Intellectual despair results in neither weakness nor dreams, but in violence. It is only a matter of knowing how to give vent to one's rage; whether one only wants to wander like madmen around prisons, or whether one wants to overturn them Picture Quote #1

Literature is communication. Communication requires loyalty. A rigorous morality results from complicity in the knowledge of evil, which is the basis of intense communication Picture Quote #1

It is clear that the world is purely parodic, that each thing seen is the parody of another, or is the same thing in a deceptive form Picture Quote #1

Existence as entirety remains beyond any one meaning - and it is the conscious presence of humanness in the world inasmuch as this is nonmeaning, having nothing to do other than be what it is, no longer able to go beyond itself or give itself some kind of meaning through action Picture Quote #1

Our only real pleasure is to squander our resources to no purpose, just as if a wound were bleeding away inside us; we always want to be sure of the uselessness or the ruinousness of our extravagance Picture Quote #1

If I want to realize totality in my consciousness, I have to relate myself to an immense, ludicrous, and painful convulsion of all of humanity Picture Quote #1

We have in fact only two certainties in this world - that we are not everything and that we will die Picture Quote #1

The owl flies, in the moonlight, over a field where the wounded cry out. Like the owl, I fly in the night over my own misfortune Picture Quote #1

Though the immediate impression of rebellion may obscure the fact, the task of authentic literature is nevertheless only conceivable in terms of a desire for fundamental communication with the reader Picture Quote #1

The chaos of the mind cannot constitute a reply to the providence of the universe. All it can be is an awakening in the night, where all that can be heard is anguished poetry let loose Picture Quote #1
