Letter "W" » Wyndham Lewis Quotes
«I feel most at home in the United States, not because it is intrinsically a more interesting country, but because no one really belongs there any more than I do. We are all there together in its wholly excellent vacuum.»
«A hundred things are done today in the divine name of Youth, that if they showed their true colors would be seen by rights to belong rather to old age.»
«The ideas of a time are like the clothes of a season: they are as arbitrary, as much imposed by some superior will which is seldom explicit. They are utilitarian and political, the instruments of smooth-running government.»
«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.»
«All orthodox opinion -- that is, today, ''revolutionary'' opinion either of the pure or the impure variety -- is anti-man.»
Author: Wyndham Lewis
(Artist)
«In the democratic western countries so-called capitalism leads a saturnalia of ''freedom,'' like a bastard brother of reform.»
«Men were only made into ''men'' with great difficulty even in primitive society: the male is not naturally ''a man'' any more than the woman. He has to be propped up into that position with some ingenuity, and is always likely to collapse.»
«It is more comfortable for me, in the long run, to be rude than polite.»
Author: Wyndham Lewis
(Artist)

Author: Wyndham Lewis
(Artist)
