-Lynda Barry on why the arts matter: "For some reason, we think that poetry is this thing you do on the side, once you get your math done or your science done. Same thing with writing or any of the things we call “the arts” – there’s this idea that they’re just an elective, they’re just decoration, and they have nothing to do with our survival … or why we can stand to be here. That’s the reason I’ve made it to 53 – because of finding these things that poetry or painting or place contain. That’s the stuff of mental health, and we ignore it at our peril."
These are so cool!!
ReplyDeleteHahah I love that one about Jennier Egan (I would probably be a total space case when in a bookstore and do the same thing).
