Osamu Dazai Quotes

Addiction is perhaps a sickness of the spirit Picture Quote #1

As for love... no, having once written that word I can write nothing more Picture Quote #1

A true artist is an ugly man Picture Quote #1

Just because a person has a title doesn't make him an aristocrat. Some people are great aristocrats who have no other title than the one that nature has bestowed on them, and others like us, who have nothing but titles, are closer to being pariahs than aristocrats Picture Quote #1

I want to spend my time with people who don't look to be respected. But such good people won't want to spend their time with me Picture Quote #1

I also have the impression that many women have been able, instinctively, to sniff out this loneliness of mine, which I confided to no one, and this in later years was to become one of the causes of my being taken advantage of Picture Quote #1

Last year nothing happened the year before nothing happened and the year before that nothing happened Picture Quote #1

I like roses best. But they bloom in all four seasons. I wonder if people who like roses best have to die four times over again Picture Quote #1

The weak fear happiness itself. They can harm themselves on cotton wool. Sometimes they are wounded even by happiness Picture Quote #1

A science which is postulated on the assumption that human beings are avaricious through all eternity is utterly devoid of point (whether in problems of distribution or any other aspect) to a person who is not avaricious Picture Quote #1

I have always shook with fright before human beings. Unable as I was to feel the least particle of confidence in my ability to speak and act like a human being, I kept my solitary agonies locked in my breast. I kept my melancholy and my agitation hidden, careful lest any trace should be left exposed. I feigned an innocent optimism; I gradually perfected myself in the role of the farcical eccentric Picture Quote #1

I'm going to paint too. I'm going to paint pictures of ghosts and devils and horses out of hell Picture Quote #1

It would seem that the more irresponsible and crafty one is, the more likely one is to have a talent for storytelling Picture Quote #1

I had no choice but to pray for his death. Typically enough, the one thing that never occurred to me was to kill him. During the course of my life I have wished innumerable times that I might meet with a violent death, but I have never once desired to kill anybody. I thought that in killing a dreaded adversary I might actually be bringing him happiness Picture Quote #1

I am sure that the reason why I wept and stormed as if I had gone off my head was that the combination of physical exhaustion and my unhappiness had made me hate and resent everything Picture Quote #1

Mine has been a life of much shame. I can't even guess myself what it must be to live the life of a human being Picture Quote #1

After being hurt by the world so much, they began to see the demons within humans. So without hiding it through trickery, they worked to express it Picture Quote #1

It isn't that I dislike artists, but I can't stand anyone who puts on those ponderous airs of a man of character Picture Quote #1

All I feel are the assaults of apprehension and terror at the thought that I am the only one who is entirely unlike the rest. It is almost impossible for me to converse with other people. What should I talk about, how should I say it? - I don't know Picture Quote #1

Even now it comes as a shock if by chance I notice in the street a face resembling someone I know however slightly, and I am at once seized by a shivering violent enough to make me dizzy Picture Quote #1

He could only consider me as the living corpse of a would-be suicide, a person dead to shame, an idiot ghost Picture Quote #1

I despised him as one fit only for amusement, a man with whom I associated for that sole purpose Picture Quote #1

In our lives we know joy, anger, sorrow, and a hundred other emotions, but these emotions altogether occupy a bare one per cent of our time. The remaining ninety-nine per cent is just living in waiting Picture Quote #1

I have sometimes thought that I have been burdened with a pack of ten misfortunes, any one of which if borne by my neighbor would be enough to make a murderer out of him Picture Quote #1

It is painful for the plant which is myself to live in the atmosphere and light of this world. Somewhere an element is lacking which would permit me to continue Picture Quote #1

Even if Mary gives birth to a child who is not her husband's, if she has a shining pride, they become a holy mother and child Picture Quote #1

In spite of my suffering, at the thought that I was sure to end up by killing myself, I cried aloud and burst into tears Picture Quote #1

Humanity? Don't be silly. I know. It is knocking down your fellow-men for the sake of your own happiness Picture Quote #1

I have no desire for others to take it on themselves to analyze my thoughts. I am without thoughts. I have never, not even once, acted on the basis of any doctrine or philosophy. I am convinced that those people whom the world considers good and respects are all liars and fakes. I do not trust the world Picture Quote #1

I wonder if there is anyone who is not depraved. A wearisome thought. I want money. Unless I have it.... In my sleep, a natural death! Picture Quote #1
