“There is in every madman
a misunderstood genius
whose idea
shining in his head
frightened people
and for whom delirium was the only solution
to the strangulation
that life had prepared for him.”
Antonin Artaud

“If our life lacks a constant magic it is because we choose to observe our acts and lose ourselves in consideration of their imagined form and meaning, instead of being impelled by their force.”
Antonin Artaud, The Theater and Its Double

“All writing is garbage. People who come out of nowhere to try and put into words any part of what goes on in their minds are pigs. ”
Antonin Artaud
