“What we call ‘normal’ is a product of repression, denial, splitting, projection, introjection and other forms of destructive action on experience. It is radically estranged from the structure of being. The more one sees this, the more senseless it is to continue with generalized descriptions of supposedly specifically schizoid, schizophrenic, hysterical ‘mechanisms.’ There are forms of alienation that are relatively strange to statistically ‘normal’ forms of alienation. The ‘normally’ alienated person, by reason of the fact that he acts more or less like everyone else, is taken to be sane. Other forms of alienation that are out of step with the prevailing state of alienation are those that are labeled by the ‘formal’ majority as bad or mad.”

“We all live under the constant threat of our own annihilation. Only by the most outrageous violation of ourselves have we achieved our capacity to live in relative adjustment to a civilization apparently driven to its own destruction.”

“اكتبوا على الأوراق
على اوراق الدفاتر
على اوراقالاشجار الصفر
اكتبوا على شبابيك الزواريب الطويلة
على اصغر الاحجر
احفروا في جذوع الاشجار
على ابواب البيوت المتهدمة
اكتبوا كل ما يخطر ببالكم
فاننا راحلوا !
اكتبوا”
