• Soy más una esponja que un inventor. Absorbo ideas de todas las fuentes. Tomo esquemas a medio madurar para el desarrollo mecánico y los hago prácticos.

Mi actividad principal es dar valor comercial a las ideas brillantes pero mal encauzadas de otros.

• El público necesita arte, y es responsabilidad de un "artista autoproclamado" darse cuenta de que el público necesita arte, y no hacer arte burgués para unos pocos e ignorar a las masas. ... Me interesa hacer arte para que lo experimente y explore el mayor número posible de personas, con el mayor número posible de ideas individuales sobre una obra determinada, sin ningún significado final. El espectador crea la realidad, el significado, la concepción de la obra. Yo soy un mero intermediario que intenta unir ideas.

• The banker, therefore, is not so much primarily a middleman in the commodity "purchasing power" as a producer of this commodity. However, since all reserve funds and savings today usually flow to him, and the total demand for free purchasing power, whether existing or to be created, concentrates on him, he has either replaced private capitalists or become their agent; he has himself become the capitalist par excellence.

• Government can only do two things: It can beat people up and kill them. Or it can threaten to do so. When it seems to be doing something else - for example, handing out money or, say, surplus cheese - what's actually going on is that something has been taken away from one set of individuals by deadly force or the threat of deadly force, a hefty middleman's fee deducted, and whatever is left thrown to peasants delighted to receive stolen goods.

• Debt settlement companies work as a middleman between you and your creditor. If all goes well (and that's a big if), you should be able to settle your debts for cents on the dollar. You'll also pay a fee to the debt settlement company, usually either a percentage of the total debt you have or a percentage of the total amount forgiven.

• Whether they really believe in their brave new world, however, is ultimately beside the point. They're building it. And in the friction-free future, jacked into paradise, we'll have the 'liberty' of living (or rather, or buying the illusion of living), through the benevolent offices of a middleman as nearly omnipotent as god himself. Freedom? A more perfect captivity is difficult to imagine.
