“The worm that devours the parasite that enables it to digest, and dies of it. The crustacean that wanders beneath the sea until it finds a fixed point. Once secured to that spot, it devours its own brain, which is now useless since it served it only to find this landing place. In this same way, we devour the Nothing that enables us to digest the world, and without which we cannot survive. But we cannot prevent ourselves from doing so - just as the scorpion cannot prevent itself from killing the frog that gets it across the river.
Heavenly bodies are irresponsible - who would hold it against them? Ultimate responsibility is light years away.
Contemporary art summed up by a London taxi driver outside Tate Modern: 'When you go in, you understand why it's free.”
