Quote by Antonin Artaud
Que les poètes morts laissent la place aux autres. Et nous pourrions tout de même voir que c'est notre vénération devant ce qui a été déj? fait, si beau et si valable que ce soit, qui nous pétrifie, qui nous stabilise et nous empêche de prendre contact avec la force qui est dessous, que l'on appelle l'énergie pensante, la force vitale, le déterminisme des échanges, les menstrues de la lune ou tout ce qu'on voudra.
Summary
This quote, translated as "Let the dead poets make way for others. And yet we could still see that it is our veneration for what has already been done, however beautiful and valid it may be, that petrifies us, stabilizes us and prevents us from making contact with the force that is beneath us, which is called thinking energy, vital force, determinism of exchanges, the menstruation of the moon or whatever one wants," suggests the need for innovation and breaking free from the influence of past achievements. It criticizes the idea of being stuck in reverence for the past, hindering us from connecting with the underlying forces that drive change and growth.
