Plagiarism is work—
there is always a demand
for fresh plagiarism
***************
To see the blue tree
of salvation is to be
blinded by mad dreams

Philosophy is
art; nature is art; prepared
ignorance is art
***************
Each generation
must cultivate its taste for
great stupidity
***************
Civilization
is an expression of pure
mediocrity
***************
Power concentrates
the little machine of the
brain and gives it teeth
***************
The invisible
beast of revolution will
fire eternity
***************
The eye of virtue
assigns radiance to the
degenerate life
***************
The consecrated
individualism of
beauty is revenge
***************
There are two sorts of
senile critic: the scoundrel
and the old scoundrel
***************
Timidities of
sensation are scattered in
the ashes of form
