Some people read too much: the bibliobuliwho are constantly drunk on books, as other men are drunk on whiskey or religion. They wander through the most diverting and stimulating of worlds in a haze, seeing nothing and hearing nothing.

Thus you see, Sir, that these people are not so unpolished as we represent them.'Tis true, their magnificence is of a different taste from ours, and perhaps of a better.

The life-efficiency and adaptability of the computer must be questioned. Its judicious use depends upon the availability of its human employers quite literally to keep their own heads, not merely to scrutinize the programming but to reserve for themselves the right of ultimate decision. No automatic system can be intelligently run byautomatonsor by people who dare not assert human intuition, human autonomy, human purpose.

I am not interested in relationships of color or form or anything else I am interested only in expressing the basic human emotionstragedy, ecstasy, doom, and so onand the fact that lots of people breakdown and cry when confronted with my pictures shows that I communicate with those basic human emotions.
