John Cage, "Autobiographical Statement", 1990

I once asked Aragon, the historian, how history was written.
He said, "You have to invent it." When I wish as now to tell
of critical incidents, persons, and events that have influenced
my life and work, the true answer is all of the incidents were
critical, all of the people influenced me, everything that
happened and that is still happening influences me.
