The Resounding Tin Box

'The most crucial thing that is happening to our civilization is that it is in the process of becoming a civilization of specialists.Each one of us is more and more locked into his own domain, and incapable of leaving it.There is no one nowadays who has the capacity to decipher both an ancient inscription and a modern scientific formula.Culture and the common treasure of mankind have become the prey of the specialists.The only task necessary for mankind in the search for that unity of culture was, through the work of every individual, to try to reassemble the scattered fragments of the universal culture that is being lost.'

Jean Renoir
