A priori, in other words with its eyes closed, Dada places before action and above all: Doubt. DADA doubts everything. Dada is an armadillo. Everything is Dada too. Beware of Dada.
Anti-dadaism is a disease: selfkleptomania, man's normal condition, is DADA. But the real dadas are against DADA.
The poor are against DADA. He who is against DADA is for me, a famous man said, but then he died. They buried him like a true dadaist. Anno domini Dada. Beware! And remember this example.
XI
Dada is a dog -- a compass -- the lining of the stomach -- neither new nor a nude Japanese girl -- a gasometer of jangled feelings -- Dada is brutal and doesn't go in for propaganda -- Dada is a quality of life in transparent, effortless and gyratory transformation.
XIII
DADA is a virgin microbe. DADA is against the high cost of living. DADA is a limited company for the exploitation of ideas. DADA has 391 different attitudes and colors according to the sex of the president. It changes affirms --says the opposite at the same time -- no importance -- shouts -- goes fishing. Dada is the chameleon of rapid and self-interested change. Dada is against the future. Dada is dead. Dada is absurd. Long live Dada. Dada is not a literary school, howl.
