“I was born as sweet as that and if I am too sweet for your tastes then just clamp your mouth shut and spin on your heels. I can’t add sourness to my sap anymore just to fit onto a menu in a restaurant for wimps”

“Stories are, at the most basic level, how we make sense of the world. It doesn’t do to forget that sometimes heroes fail you when you need them the most. Sometimes you throw your lot in with villains.”

“Je croyais savoir ce que ça signifiait d'être dépassée par la beauté des choses, quand j'étais plus jeune, de m'étouffer sur elle comme on mange une vague en pleine face, mais j'avais pas encore appris que, derrière le chaos, il y avait l'harmonie. Que même si j'arrivais pas encore à la trouver, j'avais forcément une place, juste à moi, dans la chorégraphie incompréhensible de l'univers. Pas une place importante, on s'entend, du moins pas plus que n'importe quelle grenouille qui pondait de la glu dans le ruisseau longeant mon terrain, mais une place quand même, qui ne prenait son sens que lorsqu'on regardait la Terre de très haut, de très loin, et que par conséquent j'avais le droit d'exister.”

“What can I do? I can only breathe in deeply. I can only bellow in a church that is deep inside of myself. I can only blast a shell-shaped horn that would shake down the oldest buildings. I can only leap for joy in my sacred inner caves and ring out the message: I am alive. I woke up again. I might as well be sprouting leaves, I might as well be covered in little clams.”

“Art has no obligation to evolve but it has a powerful incentive to do so. Art that is static, that captures a dead moment, is nothing. It is, at best, nostalgia; at worst, it can be a blight on our sense of who we are, a shame we pack away. Artists who refuse to listen, participate, and change along with the world around them are not being silenced or punished by censorious college sophomores, they are letting obsolescence devour them voluntarily. Political correctness is just the inexorable turn of the gear. Falling behind is preventable.”
