John Cage Quotes

Our intention is to affirm this life, not to bring order out of chaos, nor to suggest improvements in creation, but simply to wake up to the very life we’re living, which is so excellent once one gets one’s mind and desires out of its way and lets it act of it’s own accord Picture Quote #1

I have nothing to say and I am saying it and that is poetry as I need it Picture Quote #1
