Hugo Ball

“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.”

“The symbolic view of things is a consequence of long absorption in images. Is sign language the real language of Paradise?”

“Why can't a tree be called Pluplusch?”

“Every word that is spoken and sung here (the Cabaret Voltaire) represents at least this one thing: that this humiliating age has not succeeded in winning our respect.”
