Brought up in the household of a powerful Baron, Candide is an open-minded young man, whose tutor, Pangloss, has instilled in him the belief that 'all is for the best'. But when his love for the Baron's rosy-cheeked daughter is discovered, Candide is cast out to make his own way in the world. And so he and his various companions begin a breathless tour of Europe, South America and Asia, as an outr
Depuis sa création, le Réseau Voltaire n’a cessé d’ouvrir des débats et de susciter des polémiques. Ses adversaires ont lancé des campagnes visant à l’intimider ou à le discréditer. Aujourd’hui, ils veulent le faire disparaître.

Wobei dieser Mann soviel gesagt hat.. aber hier mal ein Anfang, more to come.
«Le superflu, chose très nécessaire» (Das Überflüssige ist eine sehr notwendige Sache)
«Si Dieu n’existait pas, il faudrait l’inventer» (Wenn es Gott nicht gäbe, so müsste man ihn erfinden)
«Ein schlauer Spruch beweist überhaupt nichts»
«Gott ist ein Komödiant, der vor einem Publikum spielt, das zum Lachen zu ängstlich ist»
«Jede Art zu schreiben ist erlaubt, nur nicht die langweilige» (Auf ins Kleinbloggersdorf damit!)
«Wer dem Verbrechen Nachsicht übt, wird sein Komplize»
«Eines Tages wird alles gut sein, das ist unsere Hoffnung. Heute ist alles in Ordnung, das ist unsere Illusion.»
«In der einen Hälfte des Lebens opfern wir die Gesundheit, um Geld zu erwerben; in der anderen opfern wir Geld, um die Gesundheit wieder zu erlangen. Und während dieser Zeit gehen Gesundheit und Leben von dannen»

“The wicked can have only accomplices, the voluptuous have companions in debauchery, self-seekers have associates, the politic assemble the factions, the typical idler has connections, princes have courtiers. Only the virtuous have friends.”
Voltaire (1694 – 1778) French writer and philosopher
Thanks to FinalThe Cabs were around since the early to mid-70s (see 'Methodology'), the original three-piece line-up of Christopher R. Watson (electronics, tape), Richard H. Kirk (guitar, wind instruments) & Stephen Mallinder (bass, electronic percussion,lead vocals) helped pioneer the directions of electronic music in the era from prog-to-punk-to-post-punk-to-new-pop, early classics including 'The Set Up', 'Do the Mussolini', 'Nag Nag Nag', 'Silent Command' & their timeless cover of the Velvets' 'Here She Comes Now.' The 1979 single 'Sluggin' for Jesus' (...hard to find...) suggested the new direction as the Cabs wrestled with love/hate relating to the United States of America. Their intitial trip there came up with lots of positives, while their use of tapes/proto-sampling began to involve samples of Christian preachers etc- found on the opening track here and something 'Sluggin' for Jesus' had too. This was a revolutionary approach shared with Eno/Byrne on the
Peter Hitchens made me smirk the other day, when I read his online column in the Mail on Sunday. I’m not a big fan of the Mail, but Hitchens’ writings certainly strike a chord with me.
“A modern British liberal will defend to the death your right to agree with him. Disagree, and he will call the police.”
Holding outspoken views can make you feel like people are looking at you as if you have two heads. The bland rubbish that I publish on here is a testament to my wanting to appear one-headed. This spinelessness really has to stop.
O LA PRUEBA DE CÓMO NEGARSE A LAS GUERRAS TIENE EFECTOS POSITIVOS SOBRE LA SALUD (ARTÍSTICA).Jean Arp: "Collage con las esquinas preparadas de acuerdo con las leyes del cambio" (1916-1917). Nueva York.Desde 1914 la Primera Guerra Mundial arrasa los países europeos. Millones de hombres son llamados a defender con las armas las ideas de nacionalismo y grandeza que resuenan en sus respectivos países. Algunos se niegan a participar en la matanza generalizada; entre ellos, también unas docenas de artistas e intelectuales. ¿Qué hacer entonces para evitar la cárcel a la que conduce el negarse al ir a los campos de batalla? En el centro de Europa se encuentra Suiza, que permanece neutral en el conflicto. Allí acuden algunos de esos artistas y literatos a los que les seguimos la pista. En la ciudad de Zurich unos pocos se reunen con cierta asiduidad en el Cabaret Terrase. En 1916 este grupo está nucleado en torno al escritor rumano Tristán Tzara.
