So long as we have failed to e...

So long as we have failed to eliminate any of the causes of human despair, we do not have the right to try to eliminate those means by which man tries to cleanse himself of despair.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

Don't tire yourself more than ...

Don't tire yourself more than need be, even at the price of founding a culture on the fatigue of your bones.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

Without sarcasm I sink into ch...

Without sarcasm I sink into chaos.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

The truth of life lies in the ...

The truth of life lies in the impulsiveness of matter. The mind of man has been poisoned by concepts. Do not ask him to be content, ask him only to be calm, to believe that he has found his place. But only the madman is really calm.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

I am stigmatized by a living d...

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

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

I am adding another language t...

I am adding another language to the spoken language, and I am trying to restore to the language of speech its old magic, its essential spellbinding power, for its mysterious possibilities have been forgotten.

Life consists of burning up questions.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

Admittedly or not, conscious o...

Admittedly or not, conscious or unconscious, the poetic state, a transcendent experience of life, is what the public is fundamentally seeking through love, crime, drugs, war, or insurrection.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

It has not been definitively p...

It has not been definitively proved that the language of words is the best possible language. And it seems that on the stage, which is above all a space to fill and a place where something happens, the language of words may have to give way before a language of signs whose objective aspect is the one that has the most immediate impact upon us.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

Like all magic cultures expres...

Like all magic cultures expressed by appropriate hieroglyphs, the true theater has its shadows too, and, of all languages and all arts, the theater is the only one left whose shadows have shattered their limitations.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

There are those who go to the theatre as they would go to a brothel.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

I see in the act of throwing t...

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.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

You are quite unnecessary, you...

You are quite unnecessary, young man!

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

Leave the caves of being. Come...

Leave the caves of being. Come. The mind breathes outside the mind. The time has come to abandon your lodgings. Surrender to the Universal Thought. The Marvelous is at the root of the mind.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

The fixation of the theater in...

The fixation of the theater in one language--written words, music, lights, noises--betokens its imminent ruin.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

There is nothing like an insan...

There is nothing like an insane asylum for gently incubating death.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

For the lost are lost by natur...

For the lost are lost by nature, all your ideas of moral regeneration will make no difference, there is AN INNATE DETERMINISM, there is an undeniable incurability in suicide, crime, idiocy, madness, there is an invincible cuckoldry in man, there is a congenital weakness of the character, a castration of the mind.

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 do not like detached creatio...

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.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

When I think about myself, my ...

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.
