JOHN CAGE
"I have nothing to say / and I am saying it / and that is poetry / as I needed it"
"As far as consistency of thought goes, I prefer inconsistency."
"If something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. If still boring, then eight. Then sixteen. Then thirty-two. Eventually one discovers that it is not boring at all."
"The first question I ask myself when something doesn't seem to be beautiful is why do I think it's not beautiful. And very shortly you discover that there is no reason."
"Which is more musical: a truck passing by a factory or a truck passing by a music school?"
