Delirium Quotes

What happens when reason finally gives out.

These delirium quotes describe a state that creeps in after long hours of work, somewhere around the Fifteenth hour, where exhaustion starts to help rather than hurt the creative process. Another line prefers dying in music to dying in reason or prose.

You know, sometimes if you work - if you do a lot of takes and you work long hours, for me, at least, there is a delirium that starts kicking in on the fifteenth hour, and that can help. Below the just thirteenth hour is where I have a concern, because everybody's so tired.

To hell with reality! I want to die in music, not in reason or in prose. People don't deserve the restraint we show by not going into delirium in front of them. To hell with them!

Dementia resembles delirium in the same way an ultra-marathon resembles a dash across the street. Same basic components, vastly different scale. If you've run delirium's course once or twice in your life, try to imagine a version that never ends.

There is in every madman a misunderstood genius whose idea, shining in his head, frightened people, and for whom delirium was the only solution to the strangulation that life had prepared for him.

Quotes by Antonin Artaud

One line reframes the two conditions as a matter of scale rather than kind: delirium and dementia share similar basic ingredients, but stretched across a much wider range — less a short sprint, more a full ultra-marathon. The page closes on the claim that life is created in delirium and undone in Ennui.
