Carlo Carrà Quote

I have said that Marinetti was.... exceptionally gifted, and I should add that I never saw him twiddling his thumbs even for ten minutes.... beside his desk he often kept piles of books in which he would write dedications.... invariably with the purpose of spreading the word about Futurism.
