Cage on Life Without Art

From David Revill's revelatory Cage biography, The Roaring Silence:

"I can imagine a world without art, and it would not be a bad place. If there were a part of life dark enough to keep out of it a light from art, I would want to be in that darkness, fumbling around if necessary, but alive."

John Cage
