Stephen  King
“He died with his tie on. Do you think that could be our generation's equivalent of that old saying about dying with your boots on?”
Stephen King, The Stand

Wassily Kandinsky
“Art becomes so specialized as to be comprehensible only to artists, and they complain bitterly of public indifference to their work.

Competition arises. The wild battle for success becomes more and more material. Small groups who have fought their way to the top of the chaotic world of art and picture-making entrench themselves in the territory they have won. The public, left far behind, looks on bewildered, loses interest and turns away.”
Wassily Kandinsky, Concerning the Spiritual in Art
