“Art belongs to everybody and nobody. Art belongs to all time and no time. Art belongs to those who create it and those who savour it.

Art does not exist for art’s sake: it exists for people’s sake.”

“The whole purpose of places like Starbucks is for people with no decision-making ability whatsoever to make six decisions just to buy one cup of coffee. Short, tall, light, dark, caf, decaf, low-fat, non-fat, etc. So people who don't know what the hell they're doing or who on earth they are can, for only $2.95, get not just a cup of coffee but an absolutely defining sense of self: Tall. Decaf. Cappuccino." - Joe Fox”
