“The Cinema is too rich; it is obese.”

“Our only means of original manifestation is to vomit these old masterpieces. Masterful spittle is our only opportunity to create within the Cinema our masterpieces. That's what Picasso stands for. He is a creator of deglutition and spittle, of old well-digested canvases.”

“Radio through television becomes a species of Cinema. Why shouldn't Cinema, in turn, become a species of radio?”
