  • If a dream affords the dreamer some light on himself, it is not the person with closed eyes who makes the discovery but the person with open eyes lucid enough to fit thoughts together. Dream-a scintillating mirage surrounded by shadows-is essentially poetry.

    Love   Dream   Eye  
    Michel Leiris (1987). “Nights as day, days as night”, Rizzoli Intl Pubns
  • Fascism: awful stench of saw and axe.

    Awful   Saws   Fascism  
  • Nothing seems more like a whorehouse to me than a museum. In it you find the same equivocal aspect, the same frozen quality.

    Michel Leiris, Richard Howard (1992). “Manhood: A Journey from Childhood Into the Fierce Order of Virility”, p.30, University of Chicago Press

    Writing   Doe   Steel  
    Michel Leiris, Richard Howard (1992). “Manhood: A Journey from Childhood Into the Fierce Order of Virility”, p.105, University of Chicago Press
