"But all the proper forms of expression have been discovered long ago"
"Expression - of what ? The Parthenon did not serve the same purpose as its wooden ancestor. An airline terminal does not serve the same purpose as the parthenon.Every form has its own meaning. Every man creates his meaning and form and goal. Why is it so important-what others have done? Why does it become sacred by the mere fact that of not being your own? Why is it anyone and everyone is right- so long as it's not yourself? Why does the number of those others take the place of the truth? Why is truth made a mere matter of arithmetic-and only a addition at that? Why is everything twisted out of all sense to fit everything else? there must be some reason. I don't know. I've never known it. I'd like to understand"
