“Jazz is the false liquidation of art — instead of utopia becoming reality it disappears from the picture.”

“Surrealism also refuses the representation of reality: reality can only be; its existence proves its reality. Fiction thereby becomes impossible or is, by definition, false.”

“I believe that he who sows utopia will reap reality. ”

“Keep in mind that when we limit our exposure to information, or when information itself is scarce, our picture of reality suffers. We become oblivious to both opportunities and hazards. Trends become invisible. History disappears. It's really just two sides of the same coin: the first commitment is as much a commitment to gathering information, from as many sources and in as much volume as can constructively be used, as it is a commitment to facing the facts.”

“Jazz will endure as long as people hear it through their feet instead of their brains ”

“Finance is the art of passing money from hand to hand until it finally disappears.”
