Milan Kundera
“Kitsch causes two tears to flow in quick succession. The first tear says: How nice to see children running on the grass!

The second tear says: How nice to be moved, together with all mankind, by children running on the grass!”
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Marcel Duchamp
“The creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act.”
Marcel Duchamp

Wallace Stevens
“The greatest poverty is not to live
In a physical world, to feel that one’s desire
Is too difficult to tell from despair.”
Wallace Stevens, The Collected Poems

Ursula K. Le Guin
“Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven

Alice Notley
“All my life,
since I was ten,
I’ve been waiting
to be in
this hell here
with you;
all I’ve ever
wanted, and
still do.”
Alice Notley
