Maldoror I 08:34
— What were you thinking about, child? — I was thinking of heaven. — It’s unnecessary for you to think of heaven: there’s already enough to consider about earth. Are you tired of life, you who have, barely been born? — No, but everyone prefers heaven to earth. — Well, not I. it is grand to contemplate, the ruins of cities; but it is grander still to contemplate the ruins of human beings ! For since heaven, as well as earth, has been made by God, you may count on encountering up there the very same evils as here below. After your death, you will not, be rewarded, according to your deserts, for if injustices are done you on this earth (as you will find out later by experience) there is no reason why in the next life, you will not be further wronged. The best thing for you to do is not think of God, and since it is refused you, to make your own justice. Love of justice is for most men only the courage to suffer injustice. Laugh, but weep at the same time. If you cannot weep with your eyes, weep with your mouth. If this is still impossible, urinate. I do not accept evil. Man is perfect. The soul does not fall Progress exists. Good is irreducible. Antichrists accusing angels, eternal sufferings, religions are the product of doubt.

Maldoror II 06:34
I received life as a wound, and I have forbidden suicide to heal the scar. I want the Creator to contemplate the gaping crevasse for every hour of his eternity. This is the punishment I inflict on him. I dreamt I had entered the body of a hog, that I could not easily get out again, and that I was wallowing in the filthiest slime. Was it a kind of reward? My dearest wish had been granted; I no longer belonged to mankind.

Maldoror III 05:41
I was a young, & had deep loves, & my heart would overflow with enthusiasm! And I mingled with the crowd, I mixed with my fellow men, speaking my thought out loud! And they gaped back at me, without understanding. And I withdrew from them, & they said to me: Arrogant one! And from time to time in my solitude, my loves, my repressed enthusiasms broke out into odes, conversation; & my companions laughed and used to point at me as a madman. So I suffered, doubted, cursed, & no one believed me sincere. It’s as if this heart, once so full of strength & love were annihilated
