We wish to glorify war-the sole cleanser of the world—.... We wish to destroy the museums, libraries, academies of any sort, and fight against moralism, feminism, and every kind of materialist, self-serving cowardice.

Filippo Tommaso Marinetti

We had stayed up all night my friends and I beneath mosque lamps hanging from the ceiling. Their brass domes were filigreed, starred like our souls; just as, again like our souls, they were illuminated by the imprisoned brilliance of an electric heart. On the opulent oriental rugs, we had crushed our ancestral lethargy, arguing all the way to the final frontiers of logic and blackening reams of paper with delirious writings.
