Elias Canetti

“Le succès est le seul péché impardonnable envers ses semblables.”

“Rien n'est plus terrible que l'activité sans perspicacité.”

“La chose la plus difficile est de savoir ce que l'on sait vraiment.”

“The self-explorer, whether he wants to or not, becomes the explorer of everything else. He learns to see himself, but suddenly, provided he was honest, all the rest appears, and it is as rich as he was, and, as a final crowning, richer.”
