"I honor beginnings. Of all things, I honor beginnings. I believe that what was has always been, and what is has always been, and what will be has always been. I don't think the circumstantial play from year-to-year and era-to-era means anything. but what has become available to you from time to time as expressive instinct does. The man of old had the same brilliance of mind as we assume we have only now And that which made a thing become manifest for the first time is our great. great moment of creative happening."
-Kahn, 1973.
