Paul Chan Quotes Q095: »The more ambitious the art is, the more ruthless and uncaring is about what actually belongs in the sorriest excuse for the world.This is why the greatest works tend to feel otherÂworldly, even though they may be down to earth as a painting of apples on a wooden table or a play about two men waiting for someone who never comes or the sound of silence that last exactly 4.33 min.They are composed of things we are all familiar with, but they are made in such a way that they seem to follow another set of rules entirely, if they follow any rules at all. This is the way they feel other otherÂworldly.«
