    “When I say artist I don’t mean in the narrow sense of the word—but the man who is building things—creating molding the earth—whether it be the plains of the west—or the iron ore of Penn. It’s all a big game of construction—some with a brush—some with a shovel—some choose a pen.”
    —Jackson Pollock (1912–1956)

    “No great movement designed to change the world can bear to be laughed at or belittled. Mockery is a rust that corrodes all it touches.”
    —Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
