Creativity as another war enterprise.

"If war contributes to the construction of society, then those who instead of wanting war are engaged in aesthetical enterprises will infact be using more than others their prohibited violence in other war enterprises.
Destructiveness and violence are absolutely crucial for seriously good creativity.
Matisse for instance talked of his work in terms of rape."

I have a game

"I have a game in which I put a small pebble on a sloping board, then roll a pencil towards it – each roll of the pencil, always from the same position, pushes the pebble further. I make a series of marks where the pebble stops. I’ve chosen the gradient, the pebble and the pencil, but the randomness throws up surprises which intuition, or measurement, never can. Is this nonsense?"
