The Art of War

No work without an aggressive character can be a masterpiece. Art, like battle, can be nothing but violence, cruelty and injustice...

We will glorify war, the world's only hygiene --- militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of freedom-bringers, beautiful ideas worth dying for, and scorn for woman.

--- From Le Roi Bombance (1910)
