Nobody listens anymore. I can’t talk to the walls because they’re yelling at me, I can’t talk to my wife; she listens to the walls. I just want someone to hear what I have to say. And maybe if I talk long enough it’ll make sense. And I want you to teach me to understand what I read. — Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
I have nothing to say/ and I am saying it/ and that is poetry/ as I need it. — John Cage, Silence: Lectures and Writings, 1949
“I like long distance running, it’s like photography in some ways. I think anytime you’re in solitude for three or four hours and physically pressed, your mind tends to be liberated somewhat. I just find that I wander off into my own world.”
