"Say you're a kid, and one dark night you're running along the cold sand with this helicopter in your hand, saying very fast witchy-witchy-witchy. You pass the sick man and he wants you to shove off with that thing. Maybe he thinks you're too old to play with toys. So you squat next to him in the sand and tell him it isn't a toy, it's a model. You tell him look here, here's something most people don't know about helicopters."

"In order to name with a unifying term the forms of life and the linguistic games which characterize our era, I have used the notion of "multitude." This notion, the polar opposite of that of "people," is defined by a complex of breaks, landslides, and innovations which I have tried to point out."

We, the First Committee of the International Necronautical Society, declare the following:-
1.That death is a type of space, which we intend to map, enter, colonise and, eventually, inhabit.
2. That there is no beauty without death, its immanence. We shall sing death's beauty - that is, beauty.

"One sees, then, what the surreal is. But its notion can only be grasped by extension; or rather, it is a notion that retreats like the horizon before the traveler, for, like the horizon, it is a relation between the mind and what it will never reach. As the mind has envisaged the relation of the real in which it indistinctly lumps together what exists, it naturally opposes to this relation the relation of the unreal. And it is when it has superseded these concepts that the mind imagines a more general relation, where these two relations pay neighborly calls on each other-the surreal. Surreality, the relation in which the mind brings notions together, is the shared horizon of religions, magic, poetry, dreams, madness, drunkenness-and of paltry life, that trembling honeysuckle that you believe is enough to populate heaven for us."

And new philosophy calls all in doubt,
The element of fire is quite put out,
The sun is lost, and th'earth, and no man's wit
Can well direct him where to look for it.
And freely men confess that this world's spent,
When in the planets and the firmament
They seek so many new; they see that this
Is crumbled out again to his atomies.
'Tis all in pieces, all coherence gone,
All just supply, and all relation;
