[b]Andre Breton
Over and above the various prejudices I acknowledge, the affinities I feel, the attractions I succumb to, the events which occur to me and to me alone- over and above a sum of movements I am conscious of making, of emotions I alone experience- I strive, in relation to other men, to discover the nature, if not the necessity, of my difference from them. Is it not precisely to the degree I become conscious of this difference that I shall recognize what I alone have been put on this earth to do, what unique message I alone may bear, so that I alone can answer for its fate?[/b]
Few of course will take it this far.
For me, the single word “God” suggests everything that is slippery, shady, squalid, foul, and grotesque.
In other words, what others insist is the Devil.
Nothing that surrounds us is object, all is subject.
Right, like crucial distinctions can’t be made.
No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.
Let’s note some actual examples.
The important thing is that man is lost in time, in the moment that immediately precedes him - which only attests, by reflection, to the fact that he is lost in the moment that follows.
Yeah, but how important?
I believe in the pure Surrealist joy of the man who, forewarned that all others before him have failed, refused to admit defeat, sets off from watever point he chooses, along any other path save a reasonable one, and arrives wherever he can.
Sounds rather imponderable to me.
