“There is a subtle charm in the taste of tea which makes it irresistible and capable of idealization ... It has not the arrogance of wine, the self-consciousness of coffee, nor the simpering innocence of cocoa.”

“We're so often told that art can't really change anything. But I think it can. It shapes our ethical landscapes; it opens us to the interior lives of others. It is a training ground for possibility. It makes plain inequalities, and it offers other ways of living.”
― Olivia Laing , Funny Weather: Art in an Emergency
