“You have to systematically create confusion, it sets creativity free. Everything that is contradictory creates life”

“I believe that the moment is near when by a procedure of active paranoiac thought, it will be possible to systematize confusion and contribute to the total discrediting of the world of reality.”

“What is important is to spread confusion, not eliminate it.”

“Let the labyrinth of wrinkles be furrowed in my brow with the red-hot iron of my own life, let my hair whiten and my step become vacillating, on condition that I can save the intelligence of my soul - let my unformed childhood soul, as it ages, assume the rational and esthetic forms of an architecture, let me learn just everything that others cannot teach me, what only life would be capable of marking deeply in my skin!”

“Everything alters me, but nothing changes me.”

“The reason some portraits don't look true to life is that some people make no effort to resemble their pictures.”

“One day it will have to be officially admitted that what we have christened reality is an even greater illusion than the world of dreams.”
