The poet, the artist, the sleuth, whoever sharpens our perception tends to antisocial; rarely 'well adjusted,' he cannot go along with currents and trends.

The artist is the person who invents the means to bridge between biological inheritance and the environments created by technological innovation.

We have be-come irrevocably involved with, and responsible for, each other.

Human perception is literally incarnation.

The wheel is an extension of the foot, the book is an extension of the eye, clothing an extension of the skin, electric circuitry an extension of the central nervous system.
