“Years later, I figured out why he (Ivan Karp) was such a successful art dealer-this may sound strange, but I believe it was because art was his second love. He seemed to love literature more, and he put the serious side of his nature into that...Some people are even better at their second love than their first, maybe because when they care too much, it freezes them, but knowing there's something they'd rather be doing gives them a certain freedom.” PeopleGivingYearsFirstsBelieveMayArtCareCertainLiteratureI BelieveSoundSidesKnowingSuccessfulToo MuchStrangeSeriousFreezeDealerCaring Too MuchLove Literature Author:Andy Warhol

“I am interested in Scripture and theology. This is an interest that I can assume I would share with a pastor, so that makes me a little bit prone to use that kind of character, perhaps, just at the moment. Then there is also the fact that, having been a church member for many years, I am very aware of how much pastors enrich people's experience, people for whom they are significant. I know that it's a kind of custom of American literature and culture to slang them. I don't think there is any reason why that needs to be persisted in.” PeopleThinkingKnowsNeedsYearsKindLittlesI CanReasonMomentsCharacterFactsUseCultureLiteratureBitsInterestChurchShareMembersLittle BitAssumingScriptureSignificantTheologyReason WhyCustomsPastorRich PeopleAmerican LiteratureSlangChurch Members Author:Marilynne Robinson
