“People think it's suspect and self-indulgent to make art, and I don't think that's true. Some people think you should be busy making something that you can sell in the marketplace, and if nobody wants to buy it, it must be crap. And that's not true.” PeopleIfsThinkingWantShouldArtSelfSellsBusySuspectsCrapMarketplaceSelf Indulgent Author:Dana Spiotta
“Most Americans are aware of the brutality and injustice used to maintain the excesses of their selfish consumer society and empire. Yet I suspect...they do not care. They don’t want to see what is done in their name. They do not want to look at the rows of flag-draped coffins, the horribly maimed bodies and faces of veterans, or the human suffering in the blighted and deserted former manufacturing centers. It is too upsetting. Government and corporate censorship is therefore welcomed and appreciated.” WantHumansLooksDoneBodyGovernmentCareFacesUsedSufferingNamesInjusticeSelfishFormerConsumersCorporateUpsetEmpiresSuspectsExcessFlagsCensorshipVeteranAppreciatedBrutalityManufacturingCoffinsDesertedHuman Suffering Author:Curtis White
