“The compliments you are about to pay could only sadden me, because what you love in our dear peninsula is exactly the object of our hatreds. Indeed, you crisscross Italy only to meticulously sniff out the traces of our oppressive past, and you are happy, insanely happy, if you have the good fortune to carry home some miserable stone on which our ancestors have trodden.” IfsHomePastPayObjectsStonesHatredFortuneDearMiserableComplimentAncestorGood FortuneWhat You LovePeninsulasCompliments You Author:Filippo Tommaso Marinetti
“When will you disembarrass yourselves of the lymphatic ideology of that deplorable Ruskin, which I would like to cover with so much ridicule that you would never forget it? With his morbid dream of primitive and rustic life, with his nostalgia for Homeric cheeses and legendary wool-spinners, with his hatred for the machine, steam power, and electricity, that maniac of antique simplicity is like a man who, after having reached full physical maturity, still wants to sleep in his cradle and feed himself at the breast of his decrepit old nurse in order to recover his thoughtless infancy.” MenWantStillsDreamOrderSleepForgetHatredMachinesSimplicityNostalgiaIdeologyMaturityBreastsNever ForgetNursePrimitiveCheeseElectricityRidiculeForget ItCradleSteamInfancyLegendaryAntiquesMorbidManiacsWoolRusticWant To SleepDecrepitSpinner Author:Filippo Tommaso Marinetti
