When Austin was being questioned at Royaumont on the necessity for types of research other than his own (psychological research, for example), he, as usual, responded with a joke: "I favor that sort of research, and I can only refer you to an article of mine in which I have formulated my credo on this point: an article very aptly entitled 'Excuses'; since my credo amounts in the end to excusing myself for not doing what I have no intention of doing."
