„Hör auf, allen Vorbeigehenden der Erde obszöne Einladungen zuzuflüstern, Venedig, du alte Kupplerin, die du unter deinem schweren Gewand aus Mosaiken zermürbende romantische Nächte, klagende Ständchen und erschreckende Hinterhalte bereitstellst!“
— Filippo Tommaso Marinetti
aus Discorso contro i veneziani, Übersetzung:Nino Barbieri
(Original ital.: "Finiscila di sussurrare osceni inviti a tutti i passanti della terra o Venezia, vecchia ruffiana, che sotto la tua pesante mantiglia di mosaici, ancora ti accanisci ad apprestare estenuanti notti romantiche, querule serenate e paurose imboscate!"- Wikisource - Rede gegen die Venezianer http://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Italia_-_8_luglio_1910%2C_Discorso_contro_i_veneziani
„Wir wollen die Liebe zur Gefahr besingen, die Vertrautheit mit Energie und Verwegenheit.“

„Diejenigen, welche heutzutage Dinge benutzen wie Telephon, Grammophon, Eisenbahn, Fahrrad, Motorrad, Ozeandampfer, Luftschiff, Flugzeug, Kinematograph und große Tageszeitungen, denken nicht daran, dass diese verschiedenen Kommunikations-, Verkehrs- und Informationsformen auch entscheidenden Einfluss auf ihre Psyche ausüben.“

("Coloro che oggi fanno uso del telegrafo, del telefono e del grammofono, del treno, della bicicletta, della motocicletta, dell’automobile, del transatlantico, del dirigibile, dell’aeroplano, del cinematografo, del grande quotidiano non pensano che queste diverse forme di comunicazione, di trasporto, e d’informazione esercitano sulla loro psiche una decisiva influenza." - L'immaginazione senza fili e le parole in libertà.

„All this will have left you disposed to understand one of our principal Futurist efforts, which consists of abolishing in literature the apparently indissoluble fusion of the two concepts of Woman and Beauty.“
— Filippo Tommaso Marinetti
1910's, Multiplied Man and the Reign of the Machine' 1911, This ideological a fusion has reduced all romance to a sort of heroic assault that a bellicose and lyrical male launches against a tower that bristles with enemies, a story which ends when the hero, now beneath starlight, carries the divine Beauty-Woman away to new heights. Novels such as Toilers of the Sea by Victor Hugo or Salammbô by Flaubert can clarify my point. It is a matter of a dominant leitmotif, already worn out,c of which we would like to disencumber literature and art in general.

„Before us, art relied on memory, an anxious re-evocation of an Object lost (happiness, love, a landscape), and hence was nostalgic, static, charged with suffering and distance. With Futurism, instead, art is turning into art-action, which is to say, into will, optimism, aggression, possession, penetration, delight, brutal reality within art (example: onomatopoiea; —example: noise-tuners = motors), geometrical splendor of forces, projections forward. Thus, art is becoming Presence, new Object, new reality created with the abstract elements of the universe. The hands of the passéist artist used to suffer for the sake of the lost Object; our hand will twitch for the new Object to be created. That is why the new Object (the plastic complex) has miraculously appeared in your hands.“

„The compliments you are about to pay could only sadden me, because what you love in our dear peninsula is exactly the object of our hatreds. Indeed, you crisscross Italy only to meticulously sniff out the traces of our oppressive past, and you are happy, insanely happy, if you have the good fortune to carry home some miserable stone on which our ancestors have trodden.“

„We had stayed up all night — my friends and I — beneath mosque lamps hanging from the ceiling. Their brass domes were filigreed, starred like our souls; just as, again like our souls, they were illuminated by the imprisoned brilliance of an electric heart. On the opulent oriental rugs, we had crushed our ancestral lethargy, arguing all the way to the final frontiers of logic and blackening reams of paper with delirious writings.“
— Filippo Tommaso Marinetti
1900's, The Founding and Manifesto of Futurism' 1909, Original Italian text:
Avevamo vegliato tutta la notte — i miei amici ed io — sotto lampade di moschea dalle cupole di ottone traforato, stellate come le nostre anime, perchè come queste irradiate dal chiuso fulgòre di un cuore elettrico. Avevamo lungamente calpestata su opulenti tappeti orientali la nostra atavica accidia, discutendo davanti ai confini estremi della logica ed annerendo molta carta di frenetiche scritture.

„When will you disembarrass yourselves of the lymphatic ideology of that deplorable Ruskin, which I would like to cover with so much ridicule that you would never forget it? With his morbid dream of primitive and rustic life, with his nostalgia for Homeric cheeses and legendary wool-spinners, with his hatred for the machine, steam power, and electricity, that maniac of antique simplicity is like a man who, after having reached full physical maturity, still wants to sleep in his cradle and feed himself at the breast of his decrepit old nurse in order to recover his thoughtless infancy.“

„We love the indomitable bellicose patriotism that sets you apart; we love the national pride that guides your muscularly courageous race; we love the potent individualism that doesn't prevent you from opening your arms to individualists of every land, whether libertarians or anarchists.“

1910's, Futurist Speech to the English' (1910)
„On 11 October 1908, having worked for six years at my international magazine Poesia, in an attempt to free the Italian lyrical genius that was under sentence of death from its traditional and commercial fetters, I suddenly felt that articles, poetry and controversies were no longer enough. It was absolutely crucial to switch methods, get out into the streets, lay siege to theaters, and introduce the fisticuffs into the artistic struggle... My Italian blood raced faster when my lips coined out loud the word FUTURISM.
It was the new formula of Action-Art and a code of mental health. It was a youthful and innovative banner, anti-traditional, optimistic, heroic and dynamic, that had to be hoisted over the ruins of all attachment to the past.“
— Filippo Tommaso Marinetti

„Hail! great incendiary poets, you Futurist friends!.. Hail! Paolo Buzzi, Federico de Maria, Enrico Cavacchioli, Corrado Govoni, Libero Altomare! Let's flee the city of Paralysis, devastate Gout, and lay the great military Railroad along the flanks of Gorisankar, summit of the world!
We left the city with firm and nimble strides, as if dancing in our desire to find everywhere obstacles to overcome. Around us, and within our hearts, the immense intoxication of the old European sun as it swayed between wine-colored clouds... That sun struck us in the face with its great torch of flaming purple, then flared out, vomiting itself into the infinite.“

„Art deals with profound and simple moods.... Let us suppose that the artist – in this instance [the artist] Picabia – gets a certain impression by looking at our skyscrapers, our city, our way of life, and that he tries to reproduce it.... he will convey it in plastic ways on the canvas, even though we see neither skyscrapers nor city on it.“

„O my brother Futurists! All of you, look at yourselves!.... In the name of that Human Pride we so adore, I proclaim that the hour is nigh when men with broad temples and steel chins will give birth magnificently, with a single trust of their bulging will, to giants with flawless gestures.“

„We affirm that the world's magnificence has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed. A racing car whose hood is adorned with great pipes, like serpents of explosive breath – a roaring car that seems to run on grapeshot is more beautiful than The Victory of Samoth-race“
