John Cage: "One must be disinterested, accept that a sound is a sound and a man is a man, give up illusions about ideas of order, expressions of sentiment, and all the rest of our inherited aesthetic claptrap." The highest purpose is to have no purpose at all. This puts one in accord with nature, in her man­ ner of operation." "Everyone is in the best seat." "Everything we do is music." Theatre takes place all the time, wherever one is. And art simply facilitates persuading one this is the case." They [I Ching] told me to continue what I was doing, and to spread JOY and revolution."
