"Sacrifice is nothing other than the production of sacred things."
"The Notion of Expenditure," in La Critique Sociale, Paris, Jan. 1933; repr. in Visions of Excess: Selected Writings 1927 --1939, ed. by Allan Stoekl, 1985. "Beauty is desired in order that it may be befouled; not for its own sake, but for the joy brought by the certainty of profaning it."
"To place oneself in the position of God is painful: being God is equivalent to being tortured. For being God means that one is in harmony with all that is, including the worst. The existence of the worst evils is unimaginable unless God willed them."
