“Our point is that you can you spend your whole life keep breaking on through. You can’t just break on through once and think, well, I’ve made it, I broke through. There’s a million membranes to break through. There’s a million places to go. You know. You move to another direction, another dimension. Big deal. We went to the moon, big deal. We went to Mars. Big deal. We keep moving and moving and moving. It’s just like going through one door. One door isn’t enough. A million doors aren’t enough. You have to go beyond. Beyond one reflection. Beyond the mirror, beyond, beyond.” ✨ - Patti Smith @thisispattismith Full interview can be watched on YouTube: ”Patti Smith - Interview, Stockholm October 1976”

I asked Kelly about the tradeoffs of focusing on a single thing if you want to be great (which is what I had been getting at before). “Greatness is overrated,” he said, and I perked up. “It’s a form of extremism, and it comes with extreme vices that I have no interest in. Steve Jobs was a jerk. Bob Dylan is a jerk.”

The best art makes your head spin with questions. Perhaps this is the fundamental distinction between pure art and pure design. While great art makes you wonder, great design makes things clear.
