Friday Morning With George Bataille

"For a period of several days, life enters empty dark. A wonderful feeling of relaxation is the result, and unlimited power is disclosed to the mind. The world is at your feet and you can do what you want. Only problems soon develop."

from Guilty, p. 37


"Great and terrible events are difficult to deal with. But it's also true I woudn't have wanted to live without them, even if what they brought me minute by minute was worse."

from Guilty, p. 52
