There is a poetry independent of an idea and which only acts in words, in a verbal music, in a succession of vowels and consonants. Honore Balzac, translated by Peter Mayer
Above all I think that the rhythmic aspect [of language] contains unimagined possibilities. Not only in music is rhythm the most elementary, directly physically grasping means for effect, which is the joy of recognizing something known before, the importance of repeating, which has a connection with the pulsation of breathing, the book, ejaculation. It is wrong that jazz bands have the monopoly of giving collective rhythmic ecstasy. The drama and poetry can also give it. yvind Fahlstrm, "Manifesto for Concrete Poetry" (1953)
But there is always an avant-garde in the sense that someone, somewhere is always trying to do something which adds to the possibilities for everybody, and that that large everybody will some day follow this somebody and use whatever innovations were made as part of their workaday craft. Dick Higgins, "Intermedia" (1984)
Anxiety is based on the desire to exclude or subordinate, to preserve the values of benefits of society for the group of right people who know the right answers. Northrop Frye, "Rear-View Mirror" (1978)
Criticism reminds every art, no matter what its claims to grandeur, that it is composed of mortal as well as immortal elements, and that it is not always clear which is whichreminding it that just that element which everyone thought guaranteed its immortality at the time of its making may turn

out to be just the element that will make it look vulnerable and mortal to a future generation.
