“It isn’t action, he suspects, that usually lands a thief in prison. It’s hesitation.”

“Art is the result of facing almost no survival pressure at all. It’s the product of leisure time. Our big brains, the most complex instruments known in the universe, have been released from the vigilance of evading predators and seeking sustenance, permitting our imagination to gambol and explore, to dream while awake, to share visions of God. Art signals our freedom. It exists because we’ve won the evolutionary war.”
― Michael Finkel, The Art Thief: A True Story of Love, Crime, and a Dangerous Obsession

“And we went on to create and share a special, secret world of our own—a strange town surrounded by a high wall.”
― Haruki Murakami, The City and Its Uncertain Walls
