Eugene Ionesco Quotes
Every work of art unless it is a psuedo-intellectualist work, a work already comprised in some ideology that it merely illustrates, as with Brecht is outside ideology, is not reducible to ideology. Ideology circumscribes without penetrating it. The absence of ideology in a work does not mean an absence of ideas; on the contrary it fertilizes them.
