No one has ever written, painted, sculpted, modeled, built, or invented except literally to get out of hell.

In our present state of degeneration it is through the skin that metaphysics must be made to re-enter our minds.

Tragedy on the stage is no longer enough for me, I shall bring it into my own life.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

To break through language in order to touch life is to create or re-create the theater.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

Destroy yourselves, you who ar...

Destroy yourselves, you who are desperate, and you who are tortured in body and soul, abandon all hope. There is no more solace for you in this world. The world lives off your rotting flesh.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

Before our eyes is fought a ba...

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.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

Cruelty in the theatre is unrelenting decisiveness, diligence, strictness.

The race of prophets is extinct. Europe is becoming set in its ways, slowly embalming itself beneath the wrappings of its borders, its factories, its law-courts and its universities. The frozen Mind cracks between the mineral staves which close upon it.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

The true theater, because it m...

The true theater, because it moves and makes use of living instruments, continues to stir up shadows where life has never ceased to grope its way.

The actor is an athlete of the heart.

Antonin Artaud 121 quotes

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