“Art has no answers, only solutions, and resolutions... Art has only vision and revision... Art has only hope and more hope... again and again, against circumstance and history... What we hope life might be, again and again, against what we see it has been. In hope, there is a reason to continue.”
Israel Horovitz

“I used to hate boys... I grew up... Things changed. Now I hate men.”
Israel Horovitz, Hopscotch & The 75th

“You simply can’t make someone love you if they don’t. You must choose someone who already loves you. If you choose someone who does not love you, this is the sort of love you must want.”
Israel Horovitz
