Nietzsche the mystic

(from Inner Experience by Georges Bataille; page 27)

[prosedumonde]

(…) Au fond, ce qui domine en moi, c’est le dégoût, C’est l’ennui, c’est la lassitude. Le curieux vivait pour vivre jusqu’au bout : Je ne vis que par habitude.

“What I want is that you love me even unto death. For my part, it is in death I love you at this very instant. But I don’t want your love unless you know I am repulsive, and love me even as you know it.”

— Georges Bataille, My Mother, Madame Edwarda, The Dead Man

“Saintliness is a negative sort of perfection. I love life too much to attain it. Because of my reserves of health, I remain a heavenly interloper. There are illnesses that can only be treated with a good dose of divinity, but I prefer the alleviation of pain provided by earthly tranquilizers. I don't have the gift of infinite joy and pain which used to throw Saint Teresa of Avila and Angela da Foligno into ecstasy. I am healthy, that is I can stand and talk about God, not fall down at the very thought of him. What a heavy price one must pay for one's health!” - Emil Cioran, ‘Tears and Saints’ (1937) [p. 60]

That was the period when Simone developed a mania for breaking eggs with her behind.

— Georges Bataille, from Story of the Eye [1928.] 🥚

Vivre est follement, mais sans retour, jeter les dés. C’est affirmer un état de grâce et non s’embarrasser des suites possibles. Dans le souci des suites, commencent l’avarice et l’angoisse. La seconde tient à la première, elle est le tremblement que donne la chance. Souvent l’angoisse punit une avarice naissante, l’engageant dans sa perversion accomplie, qu’est l’angoisse. Georges Bataille, Le Coupable, Gallimard, 1961

“To ask oneself before another: by what means does he calm within himself the desire to be everything? Sacrifice, conformity, trickery, poetry, morality, snobbery, heroism, religion, revolt, vanity, money? or by several means together? or all together? A wink of an eye in which glimmers a deceitfulness, a melancholy smile, a grimace of fatigue together betray the disguised suffering which the astonishment at not being everything, at even having concise limits, gives us.”

— Georges Bataille, Inner Experience

“The happiness we find in becoming is possible only by annihilating the reality of “existences” and lovely appearance, and through the pessimistic destruction of illusions: so, by annihilating even the loveliest appearances, Dionysian happiness attains its height.”

— Georges Bataille, On Nietzsche
