Artaud

Famous quotes containing the word artaud:

    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 (1896–1948)

    It is not opium which makes me work but its absence, and in order for me to feel its absence it must from time to time be present.
    —Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)

    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)
