Hier volgt een citaat van filmmaker&dichter&kunstenaarJonas Mekas, uit een column in zijn ‘Movie Journal’

… “So what? Don’t we have enough ugliness already? And don’t we know these things already? Why always fight ugliness with ugliness, stupidity with stupidity, displaying still more of it? Why not create something beautiful to fight the ugliness with? Not that I am for escapism … No poet ever is. Neither are tulips, willow trees, Louise Brooks, or cranes. But they fight ugliness just by being there, by emanating beauty, peace, truth.”
