“We can't suddenly quit a job and then race to find a form of art that will pay off before the next mortgage payment is due. Creating art is a habit, one that we practice daily or hourly until we get good at it … Art isn’t about the rush of victory that comes from being picked. Nor does it involve compliance. Art in the post-industrial age is a lifelong habit, a stepwise process that incrementally allows us to create more art.” LifeDoeArtAgeJobsFormNextProcessWorkPayRacePracticeHabitVictoryCreatingArt IsDuesQuittingPostsPaymentLifelongMortgageComplianceCreating Art Author:Seth

“Cities are never random. No matter how chaotic they might seem, everything about them grows out of a need to solve a problem. In fact, a city is nothing more than a solution to a problem, that in turn creates more problems that need more solutions, until towers rise, roads widen, bridges are built, and millions of people are caught up in a mad race to feed the problem-solving, problem-creating frenzy.” PeopleNeedsMatterFactsProblemSeemsMightTurnsGrowsRaceCitiesMillionsCreatingSolutionsBuiltMadCaughtSolveBridgesProblem SolvingTowersCaught UpChaoticFrenzySolution To A Problem Book:Downsiders Source: Downsiders
