Monsieur Debussy
“I am sure the Institut would not approve, for, naturally it regards the path which it ordains as the only right one. But there is no help for it! I am too enamored of my freedom, too fond of my own ideas.”

P.B. says: “Weird, positive message delivered with shit language and graphic imagery. It’s positive, I’ll give it that. But am I missing the rest of it entirely? The girl getting fucked up the ass, the girls’ asses in gen, the constant niggah, etc. Is that the most effective way to get that message out there? Forgive the naive q’s. I’m middle-aged and white.”

“I had the misfortune to be nourished by the dreams and visions of great Americans–the poets and seers. Some other breed of man has won out. The world which is in the making fills me with dread. I have seen it germinate; I can read it like a blueprint. It is not a world I want to live in. It is a world suited for monomaniacs obsessed with the idea of progress–but a false progress, a progress which stinks. It is a world cluttered with useless objects which men and women, in order to be exploited and degraded, are taught to regard as useful. The dreamer whose dreams are non-utilitarian has no place in this world. Whatever does not lend itself to being bought and sold, whether in the realm of things, ideas, principles, dreams, or hopes, is debarred. In this world the poet is anathema, the thinker a fool, the artist an escapist, the man of vision a criminal.”
- Henry Miller, “The Air Conditioned Nightmare.”
