"for a long time pure linear painting drove me mad until I met Van Gogh, who painted neither lines nor shapes but inert things in nature as if they were having convulsions." - from The Man Suicided by Society, Artaud "The Way Men Live Is a Lie" -Kenneth Patchen The way men live is a lie. I say that I get so goddamned sick Of all these pigs rooting at eachother's asses To get a bloodstained dollar-Why don't You stop this senseless horror! this meaningless Butchery of one another! Why dont you at least Wash your hands of it! There is only one truth in the world: Until we learn to love our neighbor, there will be no life for anyone. The man who says, "I don't believe in war, But after all somebody must protect us"- Is obviously a fool-and a liar. Is this so hard to understand! That who supports murder, is a murderer? That who destroys his fellow, destroys himself? Force cannot be overthrown by force; To hate any man is to despair of every man: Evil breeds evil-the rest is a lie!
