Isidore Isou (French: [izu]; 29 January 1925 – 28 July 2007), born Isidor Goldstein, was a Romanian-born French poet, dramaturge, novelist, film director, economist, and visual artist. He was the founder of Lettrism, an art and literary movement which owed inspiration to Dada and Surrealism.

“Unique feelings are so unique that they can not be popularized. Feelings without words in the dictionary disappear. Every year thousands of feelings disappear for lack of a concrete form.”
Isidore Isou

“No word is capable of carrying the impulses one wants to send with it”
Isidore Isou

“The flourishing of bursts of energy dies beyond us.
All delirium is expansive.
All impulses escape stereotyping.”
Isidore Isou
