Louis Aragon Quotes

«Love is made by two people, in different kinds of solitude. It can be in a crowd, but in an oblivious crowd.»
«Light is meaningful only in relation to darkness, and truth presupposes error. It is these mingled opposites which people our life, which make it pungent, intoxicating. We only exist in terms of this conflict, in the zone where black and white clash.»
«O reason, reason, abstract phantom of the waking state, I had already expelled you from my dreams, now I have reached a point where those dreams are about to become fused with apparent realities: now there is only room here for myself.»
«Of all possible sexual perversions, religion is the only one to have ever been scientifically systematized.»
«We know that the nature of genius is to provide idiots with ideas twenty years later.»
Author: Louis Aragon (Essayist, Novelist, Poet) | Keywords: idiots
«There exists a black kingdom which the eyes of man avoid because its landscape fails signally to flatter them. This darkness, which he imagines he can dispense with in describing the light, is error with its unknown characteristics. Error is certainty's constant companion. Error is the corollary of evidence. And anything said about truth may equally well be said about error: the delusion will be no greater.»
«Love is made by two people in different kinds of solitude. It can be in a crowd but in an oblivious crowd.»
Author: Louis Aragon (Essayist, Novelist, Poet) | Keywords: oblivious
«Fear of error which everything recalls to me at every moment of the flight of my ideas, this mania for control, makes men prefer reason's imagination to the imagination of the senses. And yet it is always the imagination alone which is at work.»
«The whole fauna of human fantasies, their marine vegetation, drifts and luxuriates in the dimly lit zones of human activity, as though plaiting thick tresses of darkness. Here, too, appear the lighthouses of the mind, with their outward resemblance to less pure symbols. The gateway to mystery swings open at the touch of human weakness and we have entered the realms of darkness. One false step, one slurred syllable together reveal a man's thoughts.»
«There are strange flowers of reason to match each error of the senses.»
