Quotes by Kenneth Goldsmith  (?)

“The world is full of objects, more or less interesting; I do not wish to add any more.”
Kenneth Goldsmith, Uncreative Writing: Managing Language in the Digital Age

“The best thing about conceptual poetry is that it doesn’t need to be read. You don’t have to read it. As a matter of fact, you can write books, and you don’t even have to read them. My books, for example, are unreadable. All you need to know is the concept behind them. Here’s every word I spoke for a week. Here’s a year’s worth of weather reports... and without ever having to read these things, you understand them.”
Kenneth Goldsmith

“You may not want to hear that or think of it as writing, but I’m telling you that the moving of information is a literary act in and of itself. Even when people aren’t reading it.”
Kenneth Goldsmith
