Pierre Klossowski quotes

There are many more languages than we think: and man betrays himself more often than he desires. How things speak! - but there are very few listeners, so that man can only, as it were, chatter on in the void when he pours out his confessions: he squanders his ‘truths', as the sun does its light. - Isn't it rather a pity that the void has no ears? (Pierre Klossowski)
