Tristan Tzara
Every page should explode, either because of its staggering absurdity, the enthusiasm of its principles, or its typography.
Tristan Tzara, Manifesti del dadaismo

Robert Bringhurst
Typography must often draw attention to itself before it will be read. Yet in order to be read, it must relinquish the attention it has drawn.
Robert Bringhurst, The Elements of Typographic Style
