" Among the many characteristics which have been identified as 
peculiar to the human specie - language, laughter, politics, love 
and cruelty - the one which is often overlooked is the capacity 
to be delighted and diverted by the exercise of the senses. 
Although these systems were evolved to furnish reliable knowledge 
of the external world, man is unique in exploiting them for sheer 
enjoyment. In fact a large proportion of his energy and ingenuity 
is spent on re-arranging the external world for the express purpose 
of providing more delightful perceptions. Even in communities which 
live on the margins of subsistence, scarce resources of time and 
energy are dedicated to the pleasures derived from decoration and 
ornament, and in more developed societies the amount of labour
devoted to such provisions is taken to be one of the most significant 
measures of it's civilisation " - Jonathan Miller,
 ( Foreword for The Paradox Box, Redstone Press London 1999 )
