"What distinguishes our species is thought. The cerebral cortex is in a way a liberation. We need no longer be trapped in the genetically inherited behavior patterns of lizards and baboons: territoriality and aggression and dominance hierarchies. We are each of us largely responsible for what gets put in to our brains. For what as adults we wind up caring for and knowing about. No longer at the mercy of the reptile brain we can change ourselves. Think of the possibilities."

-- Carl Sagan

And then you go back and you hang out and you even get to go watch other artists play. So it's really just a fun interactive experience for everybody.”
“In some ways painters have been more important in my life than writers. Painters teach you how to seeâ€”a faculty that usually isnâ€™t highly developed in poets.
