I found in the collage an antidote to cowardice. Look for nothing. It is beyond good and evil, even when I cut off ears and amputate well-dressed ladies. A body is not a body. I turn dogs upside down, put a tongue in place of an eyebrow. Where there was a flower, I discover a tail. Where was Lisbon, a fist. At the command of a chariot, a bunch of carrots. — Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida.
