“Indeed, all things move, all things run, all things are rapidly changing. A profile is never motionless before our eyes, but it constantly appears and disappears. On account of the persistency of an image upon the retina, moving objects constantly multiply themselves; their form changes like rapid vibrations, in their mad career. Thus a running horse has not four legs, but twenty, and their movements are triangular.”
-- Giacomo Balla -
“They did not want anything to do with me in Paris and they were right: they have gone much further than I, but I will work and I too will progress.”
-- Giacomo Balla
