From The Futurist ManifestoF. T. Marinetti 1909

• The essential elements of our poetry will be
  courage, audacity and revolt.
• We declare that the splendor of the world has
  been enriched by a new beauty the beauty of
  speed. A racing automobile with its bonnet
  adorned with great tubes like serpents with
  explosive breath ... a roaring motor car which
  seems to run on machine-gun fire, is more
  beautiful than the Victory of Samothrace.
• Beauty exists only in struggle. There is no
  masterpiece that has not an aggressive character.
  Poetry must be a violent assault on the forces of
  the unknown, to force them to bow before man.
• We want to glorify war - the only cure for the
  world - militarism, patriotism, the destructive
  gesture of the anarchists, the beautiful ideas
  which kill, and contempt for woman.
• We want to demolish museums and libraries, fight
  morality, feminism and all opportunist and
  utilitarian cowardice.
• We want to sing the love of danger, the habit of
  energy and rashness.

From James Joyce Finnegans Wake

• The fall (bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronn
  tonnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoord
  enenthurnuk!) of a once wallstrait oldparr is
  retaled early in bed and later on life down
  through all christian minstrelsy. The great fall
  of the offwall entailed at such short notice the
  pftjschute of Finnegan, erse solid man, that the
  humptyhillhead of humself prumptly sends an
  unquiring one well to the west in quest of his
  tumptytumtoes and their upturnpikepointandplace
  is at the knock out in the park where oranges
  have been laid to rust upon the green since

Dadaism By Tristan Tzara

• The beginnings of Dada were not the beginnings of
  an art, but of a disgust. Disgust with the
  magnificence of philosophers who for 3ooo years
  have been explaining everything to us (what for?
  ), disgust with the pretensions of these
  artists-God's-representatives-on-earth, disgust
  with passion and with real pathological
  wickedness where it was not worth the bother
  disgust with a false form of domination and
  restriction en masse, that accentuates rather
  than appeases man's instinct of domination,
  disgust with all the catalogued categories, with
  the false prophets who are nothing but a front
  for the interests of money, pride, disease,
  disgust with the lieutenants of a mercantile art
  made to order according to a few infantile laws,
  disgust with the divorce of good and evil, the
  beautiful and the ugly (for why is it more
  estimable to be red rather than green, to the
  left rather than the right, to be large or
  small?). Disgust finally with the Jesuitical
  dialectic which can explain everything and fill
  people's minds with oblique and obtuse ideas
  without any physiological basis or ethnic roots,
  all this by means of blinding artifice and
  ignoble charlatans promises.

From - dada manifestoby Hugo Ball 14th July 1916

• Dada is a new tendency in art. One can tell this
  from the fact that until now nobody knew anything
  about it, and tomorrow everyone in Zurich will be
  talking about it. Dada comes from the dictionary.
  it is terribly simple. In French it means "hobby
  horse." In German it means "good-by," "Get off my
  back," "Be seeing you sometime." In Romanian
  "Yes, indeed, you are right, that's it. But of
  course, yes, definitely, right." And so forth.
• .
• Each thing has its word, but the word has become
  a thing by itself. Why shouldn't I find it? Why
  can't a tree be called Pluplusch, and Pluplubasch
  when it has been raining? The word, the word, the
  word outside your domain, your stuffiness, this
  laughable impotence, your stupendous smugness,
  outside all the parrotry of your self-evident
  limitedness. The word, gentlement, is a public
  concern of the first importance.
