Few seem to escape the maze of despair, decadence and the complete substitution of intoxicants for the spiritual and high emotional experiences. One finds here people who started with the best of intentions, only to be defeated by the world they intended on saving.

The result should be an artist who is above acts of slander, immorality, and corruption of ethics. These qualities have nothing to do with creative expression and only mirror the kind of art which these people are capable of producing. This type of ethical decadence is highly disputed, when it is even addressed. Andre Breton once said that his principal concern was morality. The motto of these men was to change life.
