Project Principles

"That critics know what they are talking about, and talk only about what they know. This is not to say that there are no problems, difficulties, even mysteries in the realm of art. There are many. But it is one thing to admit their existence, and another to write as if they did not exist."

 

—Sidney Geist in SCRAP #4, February 16, 1961

"Language, when once we separate it from its practical uses, can receive certain sumptuary values that we call philosophy, or poetry, or otherwise. From this point the only question is to stimulate the need for these purposes."

​

—Paul Valéry in Mallarmé. First published in Le Point, February - April, 1944

"Pay attention."
