Notes from Wikiquote
Destroy the cult of the past, the obsession with the ancients, pedantry and academic formalism. | Totally invalidate all kinds of imitation. | Elevate all attempts at originality, however daring, however violent. | Bear bravely and proudly the smear of 'madness' with which they try to gag all innovators. | Regard art critics as useless and dangerous. | Rebel against the tyranny of words: 'Harmony' and 'good taste' and other loose expressions which can be used to destroy the works of Rembrandt, Goya, Rodin.. | Sweep the whole field of art clean of all themes and subjects which have been used in the past. | Support and glory in our day-to-day world, a world which is going to be continually and splendidly transformed by victorious Science. | p. 27: quoted in: William Boulware Schafer (1995) The Turn of the Century: The First Futurists. p. 57
