Quote by Tristan Tzara

The rest, called literature, is a dossier of human imbecility for the guidance of future professors.

The rest, called literature, is a dossier of human imbecilit

Summary

This quote suggests that the vast majority of writings, often referred to as literature, are merely a compilation of human foolishness meant to serve as a reference for future educators. It implies a negative view of literature as insignificant and unintelligent, insinuating that its primary purpose is to provide material for scholars to analyze and criticize. It may reflect a somewhat dismissive perspective on the value and purpose of literature in society.

Try to raise a voice that shall be heard from here to Albany

Try to raise a voice that shall be heard from here to Albany and watch what it is that comes forward to shut off the sound. It is not a German sergeant, nor a Russian officer of the precinct. It is a note from a friend of your fathers offering you a place in his office. This is your warning from the secret police. Why, if any of you young gentlemen have a mind to get heard a mile off, you must make a bonfire of your reputation, and a close enemy of most men who wish you well. And what will you get in return? Well, if I must for the benefit of the economists, charge you up with some selfish gain, I will say that you get the satisfaction of having been heard, and that this is the whole possible scope of human ambition.
