Henri Barbusse

There is an attraction for you which does not exist for me, since I do not feel any pleasure. You see, we are making a bargain. You give me a dream, I give you joy. But all this is not love.

There is no hell, no inferno except the frenzy of living.

We have the divinity of our great misery. And our solitude with its toilsome ideas tears and laughter is fatally divine.

I see too deep and too much.

Two armies that fight each other is like one large army that commits suicide.

It is not a woman I want - it is all women.

There is no hell, no inferno except the frenzy of living.
