A ONE DAY PROJECT

‘Sometimes one person says to the other: ‘Stupid pig!’ And if it so happens that the other person believes the first, the other often says to himself: ‘Hmph, that’s clipped my wings that has!’ because he had said to himself that pigs have short legs. And And then before long he feels he’s a despondent old boar and ask himself: ‘What if someone were now to slaughter me?’ Finally he says: ‘What a silly sausage I am!’ Yes, that’s the way it goes when people believe the nasty things that are sayd to them – regardless of whether it’s someone else or themselves that say it.’ (DR – Dieter Roth – 1968)
