“I am your fairy tale. Your dream. Your wishes and desires, and I am your thirst and your hunger and your food and your drink.”
― Klaus Kinski

“The post-totalitarian system touches people at every step, but it does so with its ideological gloves on. This is why life in the system is so thoroughly permeated with hypocrisy and lies: government by bureaucracy is called popular government; the working class is enslaved in the name of the working class; the complete degradation of the individual is presented as his or her ultimate liberation; depriving people of information is called making it available; the use of power to manipulate is called the public control of power, and the arbitrary abuse of power is called observing the legal code; the repression of culture is called its development; the expansion of imperial influence is presented as support for the oppressed; the lack of free expression becomes the highest form of freedom; farcical elections become the highest form of democracy; banning independent thought becomes the most scientific of world views; military occupation becomes fraternal assistance. Because the regime is captive to its own lies, it must falsify everything. It falsifies the past. It falsifies the present, and it falsifies the future. It falsifies statistics. It pretends not to possess an omnipotent and unprincipled police apparatus. It pretends to respect human rights. It pretends to persecute no one. It pretends to fear nothing. It pretends to pretend nothing.”
― Václav Havel, The Power of the Powerless: Citizens Against the State in Central-Eastern Europe

“This is one of the most remarkable erotic books of our time – an eruptive demonstration of the latest human possibilities! I place Kinski next to Henry Miller.
- Hans Hellmut Kirst”

“Jazz!
A manifesto of survivors!
Insanity is shattered to pieces!
future of colours! red lemons! blue blood vesicle of black oranges!
The only ailment is the fever!
Revolution!
Amok run of the trumpets!
Overflow!
Plate streamed with blood!
A bitten heart!
Lung rupture!
Jazz! Jazz
Immortality of the nerves!"
