These are quotes from one of my favorite theorists, Antonin Artaud.

"All true language is incomprehensible, like the chatter of a beggar's
teeth."

"But how is one to make a scientist understand that there is something
unalterably deranged about differential calculus, quantum theory, or the
obscene and so inanely liturgical ordeals of the precession of the
equinoxes."

"Don't tire yourself more than need be, even at the price of founding a
culture on the fatigue of your bones."

"I myself spent nine years in an insane asylum and I never had the
obsession of suicide, but I know that each conversation with a
psychiatrist, every morning at the time of his visit, made me want to
hang myself, realizing that I would not be able to cut his throat."

"It is not opium which makes me work but its absence, and in order for
me to feel its absence it must from time to time be present."

"No one has ever written, painted, sculpted, modeled, built, or invented
except literally to get out of hell."

"There is in every madman a misunderstood genius whose idea, shining in
his head, frightened people, and for whom delirium was the only solution
to the strangulation that life had prepared for him."

"Tragedy on the stage is no longer enough for me, I shall bring it into
my own life."

One of these days, science will have climbed that long, tall mountain
only to find that religion has been on the other side all along.
