Like other arts and crafts, it is also governed by a theory, by a system of principles which dictate the manner in which the act has to be performed in order to be effective.”
—Bronislaw Malinowski (1984–1942)
“Our technology forces us to live mythically, but we continue to think fragmentarily, and on single, separate planes.”
