Quotes:
Excerpt from the Futurist Manifesto, Le Figaro, 1909:
"We will glorify war - the world's only hygiene..."
"We will destroy the museums, libraries, academies of every kind, will fight moralism, feminism, every opportunistic or utilitarian cowardice."
"The oldest of us is thirty: so we have at least a decade for finishing our work."
Excerpt from Pratella's Musica Futurista, 1912:
According to Balilla Pratella, in his manifesto, Musica Futurista, the goal of Futurist music was "to present the musical soul of the masses, of the great factories, of the railways, of the transatlantic liners, of the battleships, of the automobiles and airplanes. To add to the great central themes of the musical poem the domain of machines and the victorious kingdom of Electricity."
Excerpt from Luigi Russolo's manifesto, The Art of Noise, 1913:
"Let us break out since we cannot much longer restrain our desire to create finally a new musical reality, with a generous distribution of resonant slaps in the face, discarding violins, pianos, double-basses and plaintive organs. Let us break out!"
