Marat/Sade (Weiss)

 

Against Nature's silence I use action
In the vast indifference I invent a meaning
I don't watch unmoved I intervene
and say this and this are wrong
and I work to alter them and improve them
the important thing
is to pull yourself up by your own hair
to turn yourself inside out
and see the whole world with fresh eyes
-- Jean-Paul Marat in "Marat/Sade" by Peter Weiss. #12. p. 26-27.
