"that all who fail to conform to it are of its own."

The above is a scrap of text that my O.C.R. (Optical Character Recognition) program generated from portions of page 278 of Lila. This statement is more profound than any that I could have thought up on my own... and yet it is merely a found-object. Like a Duchamp, or something...

Which brings me to another pro-found quote, this time by John Cage, about Marcel Duchamp:

"The rest of them were artists. Duchamp collects dust."
