So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on; and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die; that is to say, civilization will die.

  • -- William Morris 威廉·莫里斯

只要生产和交换生活资料的竞争制度继续下去,艺术就会继续退化;如果这一体系要永远持续下去,那么艺术就注定要消亡,也必然会消亡;也就是说,文明将会消亡。
