"But someone once described the contrast between a good life and a godly life as the difference between the top of the ocean and the bottom.

Just to open his mouth is to protest: against conformism, against what is official, public, or national, what everyone else feels comfortable with, so the moment he opens his mouth, an artist is engaged, because opening his mouth is always scandalous.”
