How Joyous the Man -

«The mind is like an umbrella — it functions best when opened.»

«I'm worth more dead than alive.

Don’t cry for me after I’m gone;

cry for me now.»

«I do not weep: I loathe tears, for they are a sign of slavery.»

«What use is there for a biography of myself?

I’m just a movie actor.»

«The Great War was the greatest sexual catastrophe that has befallen civilized

man.»

How joyous the man who fights for his domain

Who leaps from the trench to conquer new terrain

How joyous the man who takes the day and claims it as his own

«I will either be famous or infamous.»

«No one can be good for long if goodness is not in demand.»

«My brain bled dreadful visions.

I could see nothing but a thousand skeletons

jigging in a row.»

«There is only good music and bad music.»

«It's an old ploy of the bourgeoisie.

They keep a standing ‘art' to defend

their collapsing culture.»

How joyous the man who fights for his domain

Who shoots for the stars and won’t stop taking aim

How joyous the man who‘ll seize the day and claim it as his own

How joyous the man who fights for his domain

Who leaps from the trench to conquer new terrain

How joyous the man who’ll seize the day and claim it as his own

«Don't be afraid of death so much as an inadequate life.»

«Whoever stays for any length of time in Berlin

Hardly knows in the end where he actually came from.»
