Man need not be degraded to a machine by being denied to be a ghost in a machine.
I think imagination is at the heart of everything we do. Scientific discoveries couldn't have happened without imagination. Art, music, and literature couldn't exist without imagination. And so anything that strengthens imagination, and reading certainly does that, can help us for the rest of our lives.
Warhol and other Pop artists had brought the art religion of art for art's sake to an end.

Art respects the masses, by standing up to them for what they could be, rather than conforming to them in their degraded state.

Wonderland was all we had in common, after all; Wonderland was what was denied the two of us. I had denied him his; he had denied me mine.
All art, from the paintings on the walls of cave dwellers to art created today, is autobiographical because it comes from the secret place in the soul where imagination resides.
