nothingness - reaffirmed

"We should burn all libraries and allow to remain only that which everyone knows by heart. A beautiful age of the legend would then begin."

—Hugo Ball

86 years (and counting...) of 'nothingness'

“No more painters, no more scribblers, no more musicians, no more sculptors, no more religions, no more royalists, no more radicals, no more imperialists, no more anarchists, no more socialists, no more communists, no more proletariat, no more democrats, no more republicans, no more bourgeois, no more aristocrats, no more arms, no more police, no more nations, an end at last to all this stupidity, nothing left, nothing at all, nothing, nothing.”

—Louis Aragon, “Manifesto of the Dada Movement,” 1920

Hope? Huh

Don't give me hope; it disappoints, you know.
