Nature of man Quote by Eddy Toussaint
““My poem must expurgate my manhood unveil the animality of the best of my being, reveal both the monster behind the friendly smile and the humanity of my most evil deeds; I shall undress the species to its pure nudity, relegate our vanity to the dustbin of time; I shall tell a new story.””
