"Tzu-ch'i said, 'The Great Clod belches out breath and its name is wind. So long as it doesn't come forth, nothing happens. But when it does, then ten thousand hollows begin crying wildly. Can't you hear them, long drawn out? In the mountain forests that lash and sway, there are huge trees a hundred spans around with hollows and openings like noses, like mouths, like ears, like jugs, like cups, like mortars, like rifts, like ruts. They roar like waves, whistle like arrows, screech, gasp, cry, wail, moan, and howl, those in the lead calling out YEEE!, those behind calling out YUUU! In a gentle breeze they answer faintly, but in a full gale the chorus is gigantic. And when the fierce wind has passed on, then all the hollows are empty again. Have you never seen the tossing and trembling that goes on?'" Chuang Tzu, "Discussion on Making All Things Equal"

"Proportion is very important to us, both in our minds and lives and as objectified visually, since it is thought, and feeling undivided, since it is unity and harmony, easy or difficult, and often peace and quiet." Donald Judd, "Art and Architecture," 1983

"The camouflaged parrot, he flutters from fear/
When something he doesn't know about suddenly appears/
What cannot be imitated perfect must die/
Farewell Angelina, the sky is flooding over and I must go where it is dry" Bob Dylan, "Farewell Angelina"

"Beyond physical repetition and the psychical or metaphysical repetition, is there an ontological repetition? . . . This ultimate repetition, this ultimate theatre, gathers everything in a certain way; and in another way, it destroys everything; and in yet another way, it selects from everything." Gilles Deleuze, trans. Judith Butler
