De Chirico:
"The world as if in an immature museum of strangeness, full of curious multicolored toys which change their appearance, which, like little children, we sometimes break to see how they are made on inside, and disappointed realize that they are empty."
"...lone position conceived for [[strikethrough]]itslef [[/strikethrough]] itself, strange and senseless, in which we perceive a whole world that no one knows, a world of which we are perhaps the only inhabitants."
Soley on De Chirico
"Today he wishes to become "a living old master", and he has declared his defense of "eternal values" against the heresies of "modern art." p.157
