I look at the internet as the new radio. I look at the radio as gone.

Orson Welles by Eve Arnold. 1966

Clarity, completeness, quintessence, quiet. No noise, no schmutz, no schmerz, no Fauve schwärmerei. Perfection, passiveness, consonance, consummateness. No palpitations, no gesticulation, no grotesquerie. Spirituality, serenity, absoluteness, coherence. No automatism, no accident, no anxiety, no catharsis, no chance. Detachment, disinterestedness, thoughtfulness, transcendence. No humbugging, no button-holing, no exploitation, no mixing things up.

—Ad Reinhardt
