"Literary historians and those who tend to make comparisons often find mutual influences among cultures where they exist, but even more often they find them where they are absent. This, of course, is not a coincidence, but the very same universal intellectual movement. Cultural philosophers are beginning to notice these reciprocal influences and will explain to us in the future the reasons and counter-reasons for this phenomenon. In any case, the subject under discussion is a real revolution in art, painting , sculpture, music, mathematics, physics and psychology".
