"How can people think that artists seek a name? A name, like a face, is something you have when you’re not alone. There is no such thing as an artist: there is only the world, lit or unlit as the light allows." --Annie Dillard, Holy the Firm (1977)


'To receive applause for works which do not demand all our powers hinders our
advance toward a perfecting of our spirit. It usually means that thereafter we stand still.' --Lichtenberg
