order yet yearns for change
is the creative contradiction
at the heart of the laws
which structure his conformity
and define his deviancy.

mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted
whenever I am contradicted.

that of a violent contradiction.

The wise contradict themselves.
?Oscar Wilde
I have forced myself to contradict myself in
order to avoid conforming to my own taste.
?Marcel Duchamp
