"The Dadaist treats such problems as death and the erotics of love with gentile conciliation. According to him, however, such esoterica are out of place in people's minds. But even on this point he would basically be prepared to reach an accord.
The Dadaist has come to terms with life and the world. He has been in accord with them some 50% of the time. He passes through this world as a "distinguished foreigner," a camel-hair sports cap on his head, holding binoculars and recording his percentages in the "FANTASTIC PRAYER-BOOK" in sleek Palmyran ciphers. If worse comes to worst, then he relentlessly devours pork hocks in Madeira.
For suicide he merely lacks the motives. (That's all he needs!)
He won't admit that human beings have any good qualities except those he discovers for himself.
The PHILOSOPHER'S STONE that blocks his path is a weight off his mind."
Daimonides, from Towards a Theory of Dadaism
