Selected Writings Quotes

“I would like to write a Book which would drive men mad, which would be like an open door leading them where they would never have consented to go, in short, a door that opens onto reality.”
― Antonin Artaud, Selected Writings

“At times all I would need is a single word, a simple little word of no importance, to be great, to speak in the voice of the prophets; a word of witness, a precise word, a subtle word, a word well steeped in my marrow, gone out of me, which would stand at the other limit of my being and which, for everyone else, would be nothing.”
― Antonin Artaud, Selected Writings
