Artaud

Famous quotes containing the word artaud:

    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. By suicide, I reintroduce my design in nature, I shall for the first time give things the shape of my will.
    —Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)

    I myself spent nine years in an insane asylum and I never had the obsession of suicide, but I know that each conversation with a psychiatrist, every morning at the time of his visit, made me want to hang myself, realizing that I would not be able to cut his throat.
    —Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)

    Tragedy on the stage is no longer enough for me, I shall bring it into my own life.
    —Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
