Robbins

"I'll say this and no more: there's got to be poetry. And magic... Poetry and magic at every level. If civilization is ever going to be anything but a grandiose pratfall, anything more than a can of deoderizer in the shithouse of existence, then statesmen are going to have to concern themselves with magic and poetry. Bankers are going to have to concern themselves with magic and poetry. Time magazine is going to have to write about magic and poetry. Factory workers and housewives are going to have to get their lives entangled in magic and poetry."
