"If thereâ€™s a thing, a scene, maybe, an image that you want to see real bad, that you need to see but it doesnâ€™t exist in the world around you, at least not in the form that you envision, then you create it so that you can look at it and have it around, or show it to other people who wouldnâ€™t have imagined it because they perceive reality in a more narrow, predictable way. And thatâ€™s it. Thatâ€™s all an artist does."

-- Tom Robbins
