“Il était donc nécessaire de songer à une libération complète, briser des vitres, au risque de se couper les doigts, livrer corps et âme à la lutte, lutter contre toutes les écoles.”(8)
(It was therefore necessary to think of a complete liberation, to break glasses taking the risk of cutting fingers, making body and soul fight, fight against all schools.)
(English translation)
THE INTERIOR VOICE: It was therefore necessary to think of a complete liberation, to break glasses taking the risk of cutting fingers, making body and soul fight, fight against all schools. No more women or children who disown you. What does misery matter? Do everything that was forbidden and rebuild without fear of exaggeration: even with exaggeration. Learn again, once known, seek again; fight all timidity, whatever derision might it spurt. In front of his easel, the painter is neither the slave of the past nor of the present: neither of nature, nor of his neighbour.
