Wulf Zendik, American Philosopher (1920-1999)

Wulf is the co-founder of the Zendik movement, along with his life partner Arol. He named the hero of his novel, "Zendik" in the early sixties. That early novel explored this idea: "If a man of this century was committed to honesty, committed to his highest integrity in all matters—with himself, his work, his loves, his friends, with all the world—would he be seen as good or evil? Would he be acclaimed or persecuted? What might be his life, his fate?"
He soon named himself and his real live movement Zendik. Wulf was an ARTIST: a musician, a writer of fiction and philosophy, an individualist the likes rarely seen in humanity. He worshiped beauty and aesthetics, believed in both the harshest discipline and the most uninhibited pursuit of pleasure.
Wulf relished his chosen role as iconoclast (definition: One who attacks and seeks to overthrow traditional or popular ideas or institutions). His writings and talks could be in the voice of the thoughtful teacher or the angry prophet. We are working hard to organize and publish all of his writings.

(From Zendik
Magazine #62)

"The Artist, the free-flyer, the person that dares to be mad can always go back to that madness. You cannot corner that person. That person has an instrument, has a piece of paper, has a pencil, has two dollars worth of dime store paint, has some sand on the beach... That person can always go for Truth. You cannot corner that person. You can lock them in solitary and they'll scratch it on the wall, and if you cut off their hands, they will scratch it in their mind."
