Random quote of the day:

“If I would sit at my desk and write a description of a beautiful sunset on a winter evening while people are dying 10 miles from my home, I would feel like a traitor. But if on the other hand, I use my storyteller’s pen to write manifestos in thin literary disguise, I will again feel like a traitor, to my art.”

—Amos Oz, interview, New York Times, December 13, 2003

Random quote of the day:

“Morals have given rise to charity and pity, two dumplings that have grown like elephants, planets, which people call good. There is nothing good about them. Goodness is lucid, clear and resolute, and ruthless towards compromise and politics. Morality infuses chocolate into every man’s veins.”

—Tristan Tzara, dada manifesto

Random quote of the day:


“…in principle, I am against manifestos, as I am against principles…"

—Tristan Tzara, dada manifesto





(If you'd like to read the entire manifesto, it's here. Quite the torrent of absurdity and amusement. Dadadadadada.)
