The thread of favourite and profound quotes

[Karlos Santos]

Mikhail Alexandrovich Bakunin

One of my favourite Anarchists said:

"the passion for destruction is a creative passion."

Basically, if something doesn't work, smash it up and make something better in its place. My Anarchist readings taught me that I am not an Anarchist but they make interesting reading especially when they are as mad as Bakunin.

And if you destroy it whilst it still works Karl? I'm thinking The Who, The Clash et al destroying their equipment on stage. Do you think that is driven by rebellion or pent-up creativity?
