• A mental disease has swept the planet: banalization the state of affairs, arising out of a struggle against poverty, has overshot its ultimate goal-the liberation of man from material cares-and has become an obsessive image hanging over the present. Offered the choice of love or a garbage disposal, young people of all countries have chosen the garbage disposal.

• Todas las ciudades son geológicas; no se pueden dar tres pasos sin toparse con fantasmas que portan todo el prestigio de sus leyendas. Nos movemos en un paisaje cerrado cuyos hitos nos atraen constantemente hacia el pasado. Ciertos ángulos cambiantes, ciertas perspectivas que se alejan, nos permiten vislumbrar concepciones originales del espacio, pero esta visión sigue siendo fragmentaria. Hay que buscarla en los lugares mágicos de los cuentos de hadas y los escritos surrealistas: castillos, muros interminables, pequeños bares olvidados, cavernas gigantescas, espejos de casino.

• We are bored in the city, there is no longer any Temple of the Sun. Between the legs of the women walking by, the dadaists imagined a monkey wrench and the surrealists a crystal cup. That's lost. We know how to read every promise in faces-the latest stage of morphology. The poetry of the billboards lasted twenty years. We are bored in the city, we really have to strain to still discover mysteries on the sidewalk billboards, the latest state of humor and poetry.
