Tristan Tzara

***************

Thought is the egg of
human imbecility . . .
The head is useless

***************

Tenderness is an
armadillo that can hiss
like a glockenspiel

***************

Butterflies are made
in the mouth of God as an
insult to the air

***************

Journalism is an
arthritic virgin riding
a tottering ear

***************

Spontaneity
can be invented only
by an art turbine

***************

The spiral river
of incoherence is straight
as a revolver

***************

I do not wish to
fathom the normal or the
work of professors

***************

Be attuned to the
gleam of constellations and
the arc of hiccups

***************

For myself, I have
an unquestionable faith
in quack egoism

***************

Literature is
a microbe that will destroy
all seriousness

***************

Enthusiasm for
algebraic formulas
is a tragic state

***************

Morals were betrothed
in hell to the law . . . Explode,
don’t conciliate

***************
