Poetry And The Arts Can’t Exist In

Nowadays There Is No Conversation At All. Teachers Distrust Talk As Much As Business Men.

"work" Does Not Exist In A Nonliterate World. The Primitive Hunter Or Fisherman Did No Work, Any More Than Does The Poet, Painter, Or Thinker Of Today. Where The Whole Man Is Involved There Is No Work.

There Is Absolutely No Inevitability, So Long As There Is A Willingness To Contemplate What Is Happening.

I Am Resolutely Opposed To All Innovation, All Change, But I Am Determined To Understand What’s Happening. Because I Don’t Choose Just To Sit And Let The Juggernaut Roll Over Me. Many People Seem To Think That If You Talk About Something Recent, You’re In Favor Of It. The Exact Opposite Is True In My Case. Anything I Talk About Is Almost Certainly Something I’m Resolutely Against. And It Seems To Me The Best Way To Oppose It Is To Understand It. And Then You Know Where To Turn Off The Buttons.

Mass Man Is A Phenomenon Of Electric Speed, Not Of Physical Quantity.
