People who like art like artists, not the galleries that hang the work.
“A commitment to self-improvement”
- All of us face the assault of time, but few must reckon with mortality before the eyes of the world.
- In truth, most of us don’t suffer from a knowledge deficit—we suffer from a doing deficit . We take online courses and read books but rarely apply what we learn. The hard part isn’t learning what to do; it’s doing what we already know. So how can we shift from passive thinking to active doing?

“Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship”
David Foster Wallace, This is Water
Through all people’s history, there have been those who rule over others. Can humanity progress without exploitation?
(John Stewart in conversation with Ta-Nehisi Coates)
- Art has a social purpose [and] art belongs to the people. It’s not something that is hanging out there that has no connection with the needs of man. And art is unashamedly, unembarrassingly, if there is such a word, social. It is political; it is economic. The total life of man is reflected in his art.
The personal is political
James Baldwin on the Creative Process and the Artist’s Responsibility to Society
