When we speak the word ‘life,’ it must be understood we are not referring to life as we know it from its surface of fact, but to that fragile, fluctuating center which forms never reach Picture Quote #1

It is not a certain conformity of manners that the painting of Van Gogh attacks, but rather the conformity of institutions themselves. and even external nature, with her climates, her tides, and her equinoctial storms, cannot, after Van Gogh’s stay upon Earth, maintain the same gravitation Picture Quote #1

The theater, which is in no thing, but makes use of everything - gestures, sounds, words, screams, light, darkness - rediscovers itself at precisely the point where the mind requires a language to express its manifestations.

If I commit suicide, it will not be to destroy myself, but to put myself back together again. Suicide will be for me only one means of violently reconquering myself, of brutally invading my being, of anticipating the unpredictable approaches of God.

Written poetry is worth reading once, and then should be destroyed. Let the dead poets make way for others. Then we might even come to see that it is our veneration for what has already been created, however beautiful and valid it may be, that petrifies us Picture Quote #1

All true language is incomprehensible, like the chatter of a beggar’s teeth Picture Quote #1

There is nothing like an insane asylum for gently incubating death Picture Quote #1

I call for actors burning at the stakes, laughing at the flames Picture Quote #1

Those who live, live off the dead Picture Quote #1

We do not die because we have to die; we die because one day, and not so long ago, our consciousness was forced to deem it necessary Picture Quote #1

I see in the act of throwing the dice and of risking the affirmation of some intuitively felt truth, however uncertain, my whole reason for living Picture Quote #1

With society and its public, there is no longer any other language than that of bombs, barricades, and all that follows Picture Quote #1

I do not like detached creation. Neither can I conceive of the mind as detached from itself. Each of my works, each diagram of myself, each glacial flowering of my inmost soul dribbles over me Picture Quote #1

When I think about myself, my thought seeks itself in the ether of a new space. I am on the moon as others are on their balconies. I participate in planetary gravitation in the fissures of my mind Picture Quote #1

Excuse my absolute freedom. I refuse to make a distinction between any of the moments of myself Picture Quote #1

A tainted society has invented psychiatry to defend itself against the investigations of certain superior intellects whose faculties of divination would be troublesome Picture Quote #1

Enough, I shall be understood in ten years by people who will be doing what you do today. Then my geysers will be known, my ice floes will be seen, the secret of adulterating my poisons will have been learned, the games of my soul will be revealed Picture Quote #1

Squander your riches far from this unfeeling body to which no season, either spiritual or sensual, makes any difference Picture Quote #1
