Wyndham Lewis

Wyndham Lewis
If the world would only build temples to Machinery in the abstract then everything would be perfect. The painter and sculptor would have plenty to do, and could, in complete peace and suitably honored, pursue their trade without further trouble.
Wyndham Lewis

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
A man only goes and confesses his faults to the world when his self will not acknowledge or listen to them.
Wyndham Lewis
