I am a man by virtue of my hands and my feet, my belly, my heart of meat, my stomach whose knots reunite me to the putrefaction of life.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

I am stigmatized by a living ...

I am stigmatized by a living death in which real death holds no terrors for me.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

How hard is it, when everythi...

How hard is it, when everything encourages us to sleep, though we may look about us with conscious, clinging eyes, to wake and yet look about us as in a dream, with eyes that no longer know their function and whose gaze is turned inward.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

We must believe in a sense of...

We must believe in a sense of life renewed by the theater, a sense of life in which man fearlessly makes himself master of what does not yet exist, and brings it into being. And everything that has not been born can still be brought to life if we are not satisfied to remain mere recording organisms.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

I have need of angels. Enough ...

I have need of angels. Enough hell has swallowed me for too many years. But finally understand this--I have burned up one hundred thousand human lives already, from the strength of my pain.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

We must wash literature off ou...

We must wash literature off ourselves. We want to be men above all, to be human.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

And if there is still one hell...

And if there is still one hellish, truly accursed thing in our time, it is our artistic dallying with forms, instead of being like victims burnt at the stake, signaling through the flames.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

The idea of a detached art, of...

The idea of a detached art, of poetry as a charm which exists only to distract our leisure, is a decadent idea and an unmistakable symptom of our power to castrate.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

Cruelty signifies rigor, implacable intention and decision, irreversible and absolute determination,

Actors are athletes of the heart.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

We do not die because we have ...

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.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

We have the right to lie, but ...

We have the right to lie, but not about the heart of the matter.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

I know each conversation with ...

I know each conversation with a psychiatrist in the morning made me want to hang myself because I knew I could not strangle him.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

In consciousness dwells the wo...

In consciousness dwells the wondrous, with it man attains the realm beyond the material, and the Peyote tells us, where to find it.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

I myself am an absolute abyss....

I myself am an absolute abyss.

And what is an authentic madma...

And what is an authentic madman? It is a man who preferred to become mad, in the socially accepted sense of the word, rather than forfeit a certain superior idea of human honor. So society has strangled in its asylums all those it wanted to get rid of or protect itself from, because they refused to become its accomplices in certain great nastinesses. For a madman is also a man whom society did not want to hear and whom it wanted to prevent from uttering certain intolerable truths.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

This is why true beauty never ...

This is why true beauty never strikes us directly. The setting sun is beautiful because of all it makes us lose.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

If I commit suicide, it will n...

If I commit suicide, it will not be to destroy myself but to put myself back together again.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

And war is wonderful, isn't it...

And war is wonderful, isn't it? For it's war, isn't it, that the Americans have been preparing for and are preparing for this way step by step. In order to defend this senseless manufacture from all competition that could not fail to arise on all sides.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

But how is one to make a scien...

But how is one to make a scientist understand that there is something unalterably deranged about differential calculus, quantum theory, or the obscene and so inanely liturgical ordeals of the precession of the equinoxes.
