Dogmatism of all kinds--scientific, economic, moral, as well as political--are threatened by the creative freedom of the artist. This is necessarily and inevitably so. We cannot escape our anxiety over the fact that the artists together with creative persons of all sorts, are the possible destroyer of our nicely ordered systems. (p. 76)

“
I was born of flesh,
and given the name Naskar,
I outgrew the rule of flesh,
but kept the name as token.
Flesh and name are both just shell,
both have a role, but none is sovereign.
Submit to flesh, and monkeys run amok,
worship the name, and stagnation sets in.
