Illich, Ivan.

Society can be destroyed when further growth of mass production renders the milieu hostile, when it extinguishes the free use of the natural abilities of society's members, when it isolates people from each other and locks them into a man-made shell, when it undermines the texture of community by promoting extreme social polarization and splintering specialization, or when cancerous acceleration enforces social change at a rate that rules out legal, cultural, and political precedents as formal guidelines to present behavior.

Tools of Conviviality, (PJ438, Harper Colophon, 1980), p. xi.

Christian Mysticism (1948), p. 5, quoted in:

Margaret Furse, Mysticism: Window on a World View (FIUGEN, 1977), p. 161..

Innis, W. Joe.

If you intend to communicate through your work--and I can't think of why else you'd paint, draw, or sculpt--you might have to help it along a little.  Most people don't use their eyes as we artists do.
