“When modes of expression are worn out, art tends toward non-sense, toward a private and incommunicable universe. An intelligible shudder, whether in painting, in music, or in poetry, strikes us, and rightly, as vulgar or out-of-date. The public will soon disappear; art will follow shortly.
A civilization which began with the cathedrals has to end with the hermeticism of schizophrenia.” - Emil Cioran, ‘All Gall is Divided’ (1952)
