"Creative work of value is possible only when there is resistance, either of the medium or of the people at whom the work is aimed; but since after the collapse of the prohibitions of religion and the censor, one can say everything, or anything whatever, and since, with the disappearance of those attentive listeners who hung on every word, one can howl anything at anyone, literature and all its humanistic affinity is a corpse, whose advancing decay is stubbornly concealed by the next of kin. Therefore, one should seek out new terrains for creativity, those in which can be found a resistance that will lend an element of menace and risk -- and therewith importance and responsibility -- to the situation.

Such a field, such an activity, can today be only prophecy." -- Stanislaw Lem
