Elias Canetti

One should not confuse the craving for life with endorsement of it.

People love as self-recognition what they hate as an accusation.

Success listens only to applause. To all else it is deaf.

It is hardly surprising that women concentrate on the way they look instead of what is in their minds since not much has been put in their minds to begin with.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

Doubt is part of all religion. All the religious thinkers were doubters.
