Bruno Latour, on writing, in Reassembling the Social (2007):
Writing texts has everything to do with method. You write a text of so many words, in so many months, based on so many interviews, so many hours of observation, so many documents. That’s all. You do nothing more. (148)
Otto Ortmann, on playing the piano, in The Physical Basis of Piano Touch and Tone (1925):
What we actually do, then, when playing the piano, is to produce sounds of various pitch, intensity, and duration. Nothing more. (171)
