• The question so often asked of modern painting, "What is it?", contains more than the dull skepticism of the man who is not going to have the wool pulled over his eyes. It speaks of a fundamental placement in relation to the work, that of a voyager in the world coming upon a strange object. The reader reconstitutes the work by his active participation, by approaching the object, tapping it, shaking it, holding it to his ear to hear the roaring within. It is characteristic of the object that it does not declare itself all at once, in a rush of pleasant naïveté.

• What [Tulio Serafin] said that impressed me was: "When one wants to find a gesture, when you want to find how to act on stage, all you have to do is listen to the music. The composer has already seen to that." If you take the trouble to really listen with your soul and with your ears - and I say soul and ears because the mind must work, but not too much also - you will find every gesture there. And it is all true, you know.

• Las cicatrices y los rituales de las mujeres tenían que ver con la belleza (perforarse las orejas y la nariz, atarse los pies y llevar corsés); los de los hombres, con la protección de las mujeres. En las culturas en las que la fuerza física sigue siendo la mejor forma de proteger a las mujeres, como entre los dodos de Uganda, cada vez que un hombre mata a otro, se le adjudica una cicatriz ritual; cuantas más cicatrices, más elegible se le considera.
