Antonin Artaud
Soul, World, Rotting
Antonin Artaud, Susan Sontag (1976). “Antonin Artaud, Selected Writings”, p.101, Univ of California Press

There are souls that are incurable and lost to the rest of society. Deprive them of one means of folly, they will invent ten thousand others. They will create subtler, wilder methods, methods that are absolutely DESPERATE. Nature herself is fundamentally antisocial, it is only by a usurpation of powers that the organized body of society opposes the natural inclination of humanity.

Mean, Soul, Humanity

I do not like detached creation. Neither can I conceive of the mind as detached from itself. Each of my works, each diagram of myself, each glacial flowering of my inmost soul dribbles over me.

Antonin Artaud
Soul, Mind, Creation
