Futurism - The Ultimate meaning of Life, the Universe and Everything

- The first demand made by the Futurists is that the lazy spectator leave his comfortable chair, from which he can view the painting and be drawn into the centre of the painting. This way the spectator will be less critical but experience the painting more spontaneously.

- Futurists have a primitive respect for quantity. They talk of the speed capacity of a car with veneration. They revere the tension in danger. - source, Futurism in art quotes: “Trends in the Present Day Art of Painting”, Jacob Bendien, Rotterdam, 1936
