That’s not it. That’s not it at all. You always have a tendency to add. But one must be able to subtract too. It’s not enough to integrate, you must also disintegrate. That’s the way life is. That’s philosophy. That’s science. That’s progress, civilization.
- The Professor in The Lesson (1951), Eugene Ionesco
