“Only someone who is well prepared has the opportunity to improvise.”
― Ingmar Bergman

“Teachers' using grades and the fear of failure mould the brains of the young until they have lost every ounce of imagination they might once have possessed.”
― Paul Karl Feyerabend, Against Method

“Works of art are meant to be lived with and loved, and if we try to understand them, we should try to understand them as we try to understand anyone—in order to know them better, not in order to know something else.”
― William H. Gass, Fiction and the Figures of Life

“Our civilization is characterized by the word progress. Progress is its form rather than making progress being one of its features. Typically it constructs. It is occupied with building an ever more complicated structure. And even clarity is sought only as a means to this end, not as an end in itself. For me on the contrary clarity, perspicuity are valuable in themselves.”
― Ludwig Wittgenstein, Culture and Value
