Words are to be taken seriously. I try to take seriously acts of language. Words set things in motion. I've seen them doing it. Words set up atmospheres, electrical fields, charges.

Old folks are the nation.

The role of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible

We have not been scuffling in this waste - howling wilderness for the right to be stupid. All this waste.

Take away the miseries and you take away some folks' reason for living.

Not all speed is movement.

An artist represents an oppressed people and makes revolution irresistible.
