“Although the characteristic of noise is that of reminding us brutally of life, the Art of Noises should not limit itself to an imitative reproduction. It will achieve its greatest emotional power in acoustical enjoyment itself, which the inspiration of the artist will know how to draw from the combining of noises.”
― The Art of Noise

“Сюрреалізм успадкував від футуризму його схильність до безладу, яка змішує мистецтво і життя. Футуристи закликали до «алогічних» дій, які інспіруються військовим патріотизмом, сюрреалісти — до архібунтівних вчинків, черпаючи натхнення з революційного комунізму.
Як у одних, так і у других філософія дії залишилася літературним жестом, який не вів безпосередньо до практичних починань.
У футуристів перехід до практики був дуже полегшений тією обставиною, що через кілька років після їх літературних декларацій Італія взяла участь у світовій війні, і парадоксальний у 1910 році військовий патріотизм і культ ірраціональної дії перетворилися протягом однієї ночі, згідно з декретом про мобілізацію, в доктрину, яка стала обов'язковою для італійців з усіма її практичними наслідками. Цей декрет, перетворивши миттю у футуристів сотні тисяч спокійних громадян, позбавив прихильників Марінетті всієї їх оригінальності. Фашизм ще більше поглибив цей процес нівелювання, топлячи практичний футуризм у загальності й повсякденності. Футуристи стали схожими на всіх лояльних громадян, отримали разом з іншими ордени й помалу розчинилися серед сорока мільйонів інших футуристів.”
