Aren't maids the ultimate art critics?

I like the elitism of the art world. I think art for the people is a terrible idea.

Collect books, even if you don't plan on reading them right away. Nothing is more important than an unread library.

By wrecking something, it's always reinventing. All modern movements in art and music wrecked what came before, in a way - and surprised the cooler generation that was one step ahead. That's how you get ahead.

All worthy work is open to interpretations the author did not intend. Art isn't your pet -- it's your kid. It grows up and talks back to you.

The only thing worse than having a party that no one attends is having a party attended only by two vastly, deeply uninteresting people.
