That's Not It

That's not it.  That's not it at all.  You always have a tendency to add.  But one must be able to subtract too.  It's not enough to integrate, you must also disintegrate.  That's the way life is.  That's philosophy.  That's science.  That's progress, civilization.

-- Eugène Ionesco (26 November 1909 - 29 March 1994), Romanian playwright and dramatist, The Professor in The Lesson (1951)
