„Things are not as easily understood nor as expressible as people usually would like us to believe. Most happenings are beyond expression; they exist where a word has never intruded.“

„Nothing touches a work of art so little as words of criticism : they always result in more or less fortunate misunderstandings. Things aren't all so tangible and sayable as people would usually have us believe; most experiences are unsayable, they happen in a space that no word has ever entered, and more unsayable than all other things are works of art, those mysterious existences, whose life endures beside our own small, transitory life.“
— Rainer Maria Rilke
„p>Finally my HiawathaTumbled all the tribe together,('Grouped' is not the right expression),And, as happy chance would have itDid at last obtain a pictureWhere the faces all succeeded:Each came out a perfect likeness.Then they joined and all abused it,Unrestrainedly abused it,As the worst and ugliest pictureThey could possibly have dreamed of.'Giving one such strange expressions -Sullen, stupid, pert expressions.Really any one would take us(Any one that did not know us)For the most unpleasant people!“
— Lewis Carroll
„If we don't believe in free expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.“
