Elephants are VERY BIG. Motor cars go quickly  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) Art is the expression of an enormous preference  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) Laughter is an independent, tremendously important, and lurid emotion  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) In the democratic western countries so-called capitalism leads a saturnalia of ‘freedom’, like a bastard brother of reform.  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) If the world would only build temples to Machinery in the abstract then everything would be perfect. The painter and sculptor would have plenty to do, and could, in complete peace and suitably honored, pursue their trade without further trouble  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) I feel most at home in the United States, not because it is intrinsically a more interesting country, but because no one really belongs there any more than I do. We are all there together in its wholly excellent vacuum  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) In the democratic western countries so-called capitalism leads a saturnalia of ‘freedom’, like a bastard brother of reform  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) Wherever there is objective truth, there is satire  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) Where there is abundance you can afford waste  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) Revolution has become a sort of violent and hollow routine  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) Life is art’s rival and vice versa  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) As a result of the feminist revolution, feminine becomes an abusive epithet  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) It is more comfortable for me, in the long run, to be rude than polite  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) Revolution today is taken for granted, and in consequence becomes rather dull  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) Sadistic excess attempts to reach roughly and by harshness what art reaches by fineness  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) What is the good of being an island, if you are not a volcanic island?  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) Contradict yourself. In order to live, you must remain broken up  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) The artist is always engaged in writing a detailed history of the future because he is the only person aware of the nature of the present  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) The intelligence suffers today automatically in consequence of the attack on all authority, advantage, or privilege. These things are not done away with, it is needless to say, but numerous scapegoats are made of the less politically powerful, to satisfy the egalitarian rage awakened  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) People are so overwhelmed with the prestige of their instruments that they consider their personal judgement of hardly any account  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) Spain is an overflow of sombreness... a strong and threatening tide of history meets you at the frontier  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) Lewis sought no disciples, nor does he offer a program or solution, rather his contribution is a critical discipline. Lewis is a stimulant, a mode of perception, rather than a position or practice  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) Revolutionary politics, revolutionary art, and oh, the revolutionary mind, is the dullest thing on earth... What a stupid word! What a stale fuss!  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) In a period of such obsessing political controversy as the present, I believe that I am that strange animal, the individual without any politics at all  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) The teacher does not have to be, although he has to know: he is the mind imagining, not the executant  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) The streets of a modern city are depressing. They are so aimless and so weak in their lines and their masses, that the mind and senses jog on their way like passengers in a train with blinds down in an overcrowded carriage  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) Artists put as much vitality and delight into their saintliness and escape out as most men do their escapes into similar places from respectable existence  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) Almost anything that can be praised or advocated has been put to some disgusting use. There is no principle, however immaculate, that has not had its compromising manipulator  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) Satire has a great big glaring target. If successful, it blasts a great big hole in the center. Directness there must be and singleness of aim: it is all aim, all trajectory  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes) To give up another person’s love is a mild suicide; like a very bad inoculation as compared to the full disease  (Wyndham Lewis Quotes)
