"Art is the thing having to do only with itself - the product of a successful attempt to make a work of art. Unfortunately, there are no examples of art, nor good reasons to think that it will ever exist. (Everything that has been made has been made with a purpose, everything with an end that exists outside that thing i.e., I want to sell this, or I want this to make me famous and loved, or I want this to make me whole, or worse,I want this to make others whole.) And yet we continue to write, paint, sculpt, and compose. Is this foolish of us?"
