Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation....

—Jean Arp (1887–1948)
“Civil servants and priests, soldiers and ballet-dancers, schoolmasters and police constables, Greek museums and Gothic steeples, civil list and services list—the common seed within which all these fabulous beings slumber in embryo is taxation.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
