I avoided this punishment by destroying them, I thought, and suddenly I took great pleasure in the word destroying  (Thomas Bernhard Quotes) Instead of committing suicide, people go to work  (Thomas Bernhard Quotes) Toda idea, al fin y al cabo, es una idea demencial  (Thomas Bernhard Quotes) Those who live in the country get idiotic in time, without noticing it, for a while they think it’s original and good for their health, but life in the country is not original at all, for anyone who wasn’t born in and for the country it shows a lack of taste and is only harmful to their health. The people who go walking in the country walk right into their own funeral in the country and at the very least they lead a grotesque existence which leads them first into idiocy, then into an absurd death  (Thomas Bernhard Quotes) One day you’re cut off, at the very start you’re cut off and can’t go back, the language you learn and the whole business of walking and all the rest is for the sake of the single thought, how to get back again  (Thomas Bernhard Quotes) We publish only to satisfy out craving for fame; there’s no other motive except the even baser one of making money  (Thomas Bernhard Quotes) All my life I have had the utmost admiration for suicides.

That is enough to permit one to exist and at least to be misunderstood  (Thomas Bernhard Quotes) In theory we understand people, but in practice we can’t put up with them, I thought, deal with them for the most part reluctantly and always treat them from our point of view. We should observe and treat people not from our point of view but from all angles, I thought, associate with them in such a way that we can say we associate with them so to speak in a completely unbiased way, which however isn’t possible, since we actually are always biased against everybody  (Thomas Bernhard Quotes) We have to keep company with supposedly bad characters if we are to survive and not succumb to mental atrophy. People of good character, so called, are the ones who end up boring us to death  (Thomas Bernhard Quotes)
