We can never be entirely original, as artists or as people. The genius and vision of those who came before us is too great for us to digress from entirely.

Paul de Man

Man's first expression, like his first dream, was an aesthetic one. Speech was a poetic outcry rather than a demand for communication.

Barnett Newman
