“The point of art is to look at our world and be moved by it, and then to engage in a series of attempts at clearly seeing that world, interpreting it, questioning it.

Only then can we reach reflection, illumination, and finally, hopefully, epiphany.”
― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Dream Count

“It's one of the most wonderful aspects to art -- the fact that people decide what is beautiful.”

“We want what we've made to stay long after we're gone. That is how we seek immortality.”
