Ego Block

Famous quotes containing the words ego and/or block:

    As a lone ant from a broken ant-hill
    from the wreckage of Europe, ego scriptor.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    The chess pieces are the block alphabet which shapes thoughts; and these thoughts, although making a visual design on the chess-board, express their beauty abstractly, like a poem.... I have come to the personal conclusion that while all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists.
    Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968)
