Andr茅 Breton
“Le coeur humain, beau comme un sismographe.”
Andr茅 Breton, Nadja

“Equally, the surrealists consider words as witnesses of life acting in a direct way in human affairs. To use words properly it was necessary to treat them with respect, for they were the intermediaries between oneself and the rest of creation. To abuse them was immediately to set oneself adrift from true being. Words need to be coaxed to reveal a little of their true nature, so as to close the breach that exists between the writer and the universe. The world is not something alien against which man is in conflict. Rather man and cosmos exist in reciprocal motion. We are not cast adrift in an alien or meaningless environment. The universe is intimate with us and, as Breton insisted, it is a cryptogram to be deciphered.”
Michael Richardson, Dedalus Book of Surrealism 2: The Myth of the World

“Les enqu锚tes effectu茅es en 1830 d茅montrent, qu'en Basse-Bretagne, 70% de la population parle breton. Les grandes villes sont bilingues, le total des monolingues bretons s'茅l猫ve 脿 80% des locuteurs, une grande partie de ces bretonnants sait lire et 茅crire le breton. Cette situation va perdurer jusqu'脿 la veille de la premi猫re guerre mondiale, 脿 l'exception des villes dont la francisation s'est fortement accentu茅e. On 茅value le nombre de locuteurs 脿 1300000 en 1914.

“Si cette population avait transmis sa langue aux g茅n茅rations suivantes dans des conditions de d茅veloppement normales, cela ferait maintenant quelques quatre ou cinq millions de bretonnants : les langues vernaculaires ayant moins de cinq millions de locuteurs sont nombreuses : l'h茅breu (4,6 millions), le norv茅gien (4,4 millions), l'albanais (2,5 millions), l'islandais (220 000) etc.
