Antonin Artaud
From Anarchopedia
Antonin Artaud (born 1896 September 4) was a French playwright, poet, essayist, actor, director, and madman.
Artaudʼs credentials as a madman are impeccable. By age 21 he had already suffered a bout of meningitis, hereditary syphilis and a nervous breakdown. Furthermore, he spent approximately 15 of his 52 earthly years inside various mental institutions.
Quotes[edit]
- “All writing is pig shit“
- “I have only aimed at the clockworking of the soul; I've only transcribed the pain of botched adjustment“
- “The human face is an empty power, a field of death … after countless thousands of years that the human face has spoken and breathed one still has the impression that it hasnʼt even begun to say what it is and what it knows.“ 1947 July.
