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

art; nature is art; prepared
ignorance is art

must cultivate its taste for
great stupidity

is an expression of pure
mediocrity

the little machine of the
brain and gives it teeth

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

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
