Remember O Most Gracious Virgin Mary

Are artists revolutionaries?  Are artists the only ones in the world who are truly free?  Are they the only ones with vision?Are they just a different breed entirely? 

Perhaps.  Probably not.  But I’ll tell you one thing for sure:  Artists are selfish.

They produce art for no one. nothing.  For themselves alone do they paint a picture.  Write a song.  And that belongs to no one.  You buy it from them, it’s never really yours.  You just paid money to let them let you keep it in your house.  Listen to it.

 why paint a picture?  because.  Because if not for paint brushes and canvases, pencils and paper, ashes and rock, there would be a heck of a lot more mad houses that needed to be built.
