Slaves and Robots: Eugene Ionesco, Notes et Contre Notes
March 17, 2009Staff No Comments »“In all the cities of the world, it is the same. The universal and modern man is the man in a rush (i.e. a rhinoceros), a man who has no time, who is a prisoner of necessity, who cannot understand that a thing might perhaps be without usefulness; nor does he understand that, at bottom, it is the useful that may be a useless and backbreaking burden. If one does not understand the usefulness of the useless and the uselessness of the useful, one cannot understand art. And a country where art is not understood is a country of slaves and robots.”
- Notes et Contre Notes, Eugene Ionesco, pg. 129.
