John Cage Quotes
One Evening I Was Walking Along Hollywood Boulevard, Nothing Much To Do. I Stopped And Looked In The Window Of A Stationary Shop. A Mechanized Pen Was Suspended In Space In Such A Way That, As A Mechanized Roll Of Paper Passed By It, The Pen Went Through The Motions Of The Same Penmanship Exercises I Had Learned As A Child In The Third Grade. Centrally Placed In The Window Was An Advertisement Explaining The Mechanical Reasons For The Perfection Of The Operation Of The Suspended Mechanical Pen. I Was Fascinated, For Everything Was Going Wrong. Then Pen Was Tearing The Paper To Shreds And Splattering In All Over The Window And On The Advertisement, Which, Nevertheless, Remained Legible.
