Notebooks 30-55

"I love sculpture, the art of breaking space. Writing, the quarry."
page 43

This quote comes in one of his June Journals. In this June Journal he writes about how Chicano artists pull images out of themselves and show them to people in any type of medium. In this quote the auther is saying that he beleives that writing is the base of all art. He says writing is the quarry out of which the stone of which all art is made, is extracted."

"Shall we huddle ands moke and shake hands and grin and then publish some sweaty-assed two-bit newsletter on this?"
page 50

This quote comes in yet another June Journal. In this Journal he is talking about how authors need to use writing to tackle big questions. At the end of the entry in a separate small paragraph this quote comes. The author is making fun of writers who conform to one style of writing. This style is very corperate because he revers to "shaking hands' and "a newsletter" adding these words make the writing sound like a business. This is stupid to him because he beleives writing should be used as expression, and expression should not be conformed like a business.
