Truth Quote by Louis-Ferdinand Céline — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Philosophizing is simply one way of being afraid, a cowardly pretense that doesn't get you anywhere.”

“The mind is satisfied with phrased, but not the body, the body is more fastidious, it wants muscles. A body always tells the truth, that's why it's usually depressing and disgusting to look at.”

“Here we are, alone again. It's all so slow, so heavy, so sad. . . I'll be old soon. Then at last it will be over. So many people have come into my room. They've talked. They haven't said much. They've gone away. They've grown old, wretched, sluggish, each in some corner of the world.”

“Not much music left inside us for life to dance to. Our youth has gone to the ends of the earth to die in the silence of the truth. And where, I ask you, can a man escape to, when he hasn't enough madness left inside him? The truth is an endless death agony. The truth is death. You have to choose: death or lies. I've never been able to kill myself.”

“There is no rest for the humble except in despising the great, whose only thought of the people is inspired by self-interest or sadism.”

“Tension, in the long run, is a more dangerous force than any feud known to man.”

“Truths are as much a matter of questions as answers.”

“Knowledge planted in truth grows in truth.”

“Thoreau was an idiot.”

“In darkness God's truth shines most clear.”

“Imagine you come upon a house painted brown. What color would you say the house was?”
