Quote by John Cage

"I have nothing to say and I am saying it and that is poetry."

"There is no such thing as silence. Something is always happening that makes a sound."

"If something is boring after two minutes, try it for four minutes. If still boring, try it for eight, sixteen, thirty-two minutes. Eventually one discovers that it is not boring at all."

"The highest purpose is to have no purpose at all."

"The best part of living is knowing you survived."

"The world needs heroes."

"Life is too short to live poorly."

"I'd rather be an optimist and be wrong than a pessimist and be right"
