I Think Of Something Quite Different From A Snapshot. I Know Of A Lot Of Poems, Some Very Fine Ones, That Are Like Snapshots, But I'm More Interested In Poetry That Is Like An Endless Film, Long Stories, Things That Weave Together Many Different Strands, Like A Big Piece Of Cloth, Not Like A Photograph.

Typographic Style Is Founded Not On Any One Technology Of Typesetting Or Printing, But On The Primitive Yet Subtle Craft Of Writing.

Literature In The Written Sense Represents The Triumph Of Language Over Writing: The Subversion Of Writing For Purposes That Have Little Or Nothing To Do With Social And Economic Control.

Typography Is The Craft Of Endowing Human Language With A Durable Visual Form, And Thus With An Independent Existence. Its Heartwood Is Calligraphy - The Dance, On A Tiny Stage, Of The Living, Speaking Hand - And Its Roots Reach Into Living Soil, Though Its Branches May Be Hung Each Year With New Machines. So Long As The Root Lives, Typography Remains A Source Of True Delight, True Knowledge, True Surprise.

By All Means Break The Rules, And Break Them Beautifully, Deliberately And Well.
