More quotes by Wyndham Lewis
The intelligence suffers today automatically in consequence of the attack on all authority, advantage, or privilege. These things are not done away with, it is needless to say, but numerous scapegoats are made of the less politically powerful, to satisfy the egalitarian rage awakened.
Wyndham Lewis
Happiness is the chief material also in the construction of Utopias.
Wyndham Lewis
All orthodox opinion - that is, today, revolutionary opinion either of the pure or the impure variety - is anti-man.
Wyndham Lewis
What is the good of being an island, if you are not a volcanic island?
Wyndham Lewis
Revolution has become a sort of violent and hollow routine.
Wyndham Lewis
Elephants are VERY BIG. Motor cars go quickly.
Wyndham Lewis
If an art has for its function to represent manners and people, I do not see how it can avoid systematizing its sensibility to the extent of showing some figures much as Molière, for instance, did, as absurd or detestable.
Wyndham Lewis
Wherever there is objective truth, there is satire.
Wyndham Lewis
Contradict yourself. In order to live, you must remain broken up.
Wyndham Lewis
To give up another person's love is a mild suicide like a very bad inoculation as compared to the full disease.
Wyndham Lewis
If you do not regard feminism with an uplifting sense of the gloriousness of woman's industrial destiny, or in the way, in short, that it is prescribed, by the rules of the political publicist, that you should, that will be interpreted by your opponents as an attack on woman.
Wyndham Lewis
Revolutionary politics, revolutionary art, and oh, the revolutionary mind, is the dullest thing on earth... What a stupid word! What a stale fuss!
Wyndham Lewis
The Future is distant, like the Past, and therefore sentimental. The mere element Past must be retained to sponge up and absorb our melancholy. Everything absent, remote, requiring projection in the veiled weakness of the mind, is sentimental.
Wyndham Lewis
Dying for an idea,' again, sounds well enough, but why not let the idea die instead of you?
Wyndham Lewis
Sadistic excess attempts to reach roughly and by harshness what art reaches by fineness.
Wyndham Lewis
Spain is an overflow of sombreness . . . a strong and threatening tide of history meets you at the frontier.
Wyndham Lewis
Where there is abundance you can afford waste.
Wyndham Lewis
Laughter is the representative of Tragedy, when Tragedy is away.
Wyndham Lewis
Lewis sought no disciples, nor does he offer a program or solution, rather his contribution is a critical discipline. Lewis is a stimulant, a mode of perception, rather than a position or practice.
Wyndham Lewis
The artist is always engaged in writing a detailed history of the future because he is the only person aware of the nature of the present.
Wyndham Lewis
