The premise of this statement is what one might call the principle of non-indirection. I call indirection an indirect operation that makes it possible to arrive at a certain result through two successive actions, the first of which serves only to make the second possible.... This principle is not limited to rational actions.... The principle of non-indirection thus expresses a broader idea of coherence that includes the emotional as well as the rational.
