Francis Picabia

Knowledge is ancient error reflecting on its youth. ”

Youth doesn't reason, it acts. The old man reasons and would like to make the others act in his place. ”

My arse contemplates those who talk behind my back. ”

My ass contemplates those who talk behind my back. ”

Only useless things are indispensable. ”

The essence of a man is found in his faults. ”

God invented concubinage, satan marriage. ”

Good taste is as tiring as good company. ”

Pain has its reasons, pleasure is totally indifferent. ”

The family spirit has rendered man carnivorous. ”
