"It is true what Rimbaud said; If you think a book is strong enough, try it at the ocean, in the wind, at the waves. If the book can resist the ocean, then it exists. Otherwise, throw it away"

Kinski is recommending that if a book can withstand the power of the ocean, then it is a strong and significant work of literature. He is indicating that if a book can not withstand the power of the ocean, then it is not worth reading and ought to be discarded. This quote is a pointer that literature should be judged on its merits and not on its popularity or its author. It is a pointer that books should be tested and examined for their strength and value before being accepted as a significant work of literature.
