Quote of the day

Though Fortune's malice overthrow my state, My mind exceeds the compass of her wheel.

Antonin Artaud

Before our eyes is fought a battle of symbols. . . for there can be theatre only from the moment when the impossible really begins and when the poetry that occurs on the stage sustains and superheats the realized symbols.

I destroy because for me everything that proceeds from reason is untrustworthy. I believe only in the evidence of what stirs my marrow, not in the evidence of what addresses itself to my reason. I have found levels in the realm of the nerve. I now feel capable of evaluating the evidence. There is for me an evidence in the realm of pure flesh which has nothing to do with the evidence of reason. The eternal conflict between reason and the heart is decided in my very flesh, but in my flesh irrigated by nerves.

Not once more will
I be found with beings
who swallowed the rail of life

And one day I found myself with beings
who swallowed the nail of life
-as soon as I lost my matrix mamma,

and the being twisted under him,
and god poured me back to her
(the motherfucker).

There is a certain point of unity within the self, and between the self and its world, certain complicity and magnetic mating, a certain harmony, that conscious mind and will cannot direct. Perhaps analysis and the separate mastery of each element are required before the instincts are ready to assume command, but only at first. Command by instinct is swifter, subtler, deeper, more accurate, more in touch with reality than command by conscious mind. The discovery takes one's breath away.

I have made many mistakes myself; in learning the anatomy of the eye I dare say, I have spoiled a hatfull; the best surgeon, like the best general, is he who makes the fewest mistakes.

It may not always be obvious at first, but I think that everyone can make a valuable contribution if only they put their minds to it.
