...nu fiţi indulgenţi (indulgenta e o laşitate) şi să nu vă fie frică să mărturisiţi clar că tot ce se face în cultura noastră este nouăzeci şi nouă … - Eugène Ionesco

...nu fiţi indulgenţi (indulgenta e o laşitate) şi să nu vă fie frică să mărturisiţi clar că tot ce se face în cultura noastră este nouăzeci şi nouă la sută rizibil şi unu la sută lizibil. Nu aveţi încredere nici în acest lizibil şi aveţi mai degrabă încredere în ilizibil. când vi s-o prezenta ceva ilizibil, adică ceva care trebuie nu să fie recunoscut, ci cunoscut pentru întâia dată, poate să găsiţi acolo ceva trainic.

I was not Jewish, but I pronounced my r’s as the French do and was often taken for a Jew, for which I was ruthlessly bullied.… It was the time of the rise of Nazism and everyone was becoming pro-Nazi — writers, teachers, biologists, historians … It was a plague! They despised France and England because they were yiddified and racially impure.

The poet cannot invent new words every time, of course. He uses the words of the tribe. But the handling of the word, the accent, a new articulation, renew them.
