"In any free moment I rushed to the Art School, beyond the sound of the bells. Bells masked the disorderly conduct of the day's affairs, the fatuous rules and dead principles which yet demanded the blind obedience characteristic of a totalitarian regime. "At the art school I established my own totalitarian state -- art was frankly admitted to being incomprehensible, or risible, a thin-air fantasy of mad adventurers who'd sooner cut off an ear or sail for the South Seas than enter society, score goals or box their mates into bloody submission."
-- Derek Jarman, Modern Nature (61)
