Wishing won't make it so hoping won't do it, praying won't do it religion won't do it, philosophy won't do it the supreme court won't do it, the president and the congress won't do it the un won't do it, the h-bomb won't do it, the sun and the moon won't do it and god won't do it, and i certainly won't do it that leaves you, you'll have to do it

So often, we blame other people when, really, the problem is right down in here. i'm not happy. i don't know what's wrong. if i just had another job, i could be happy. if i just get married, i would be happy. well if i just wasn't married, i would be happy. well, if i just had some kids, i'll be happy. i'll be happy when these kids finally grow up and get out of here. if i had a bigger house, i would be happy. well, i got a big house. now if i just had a maid to clean, i'd be happy. well, now if i just had a maid i could get along with better, i'd be happy.

One voice can change a room, and if one voice can change a room, then it can change a city, and if it can change a city, it can change a state, and if it change a state, it can change a nation, and if it can change a nation, it can change the world. your voice can change the world.

It is neither art for art, nor art against art. i am for art, but for art that has nothing to do with art. art has everything to do with life, but it has nothing to do with art.
Art
When things get tough, this is what you should do: make good art. i'm serious. husband runs off with a politician -- make good art. leg crushed and then eaten by a mutated boa constrictor -- make good art. irs on your trail -- make good art. cat exploded -- make good art. someone on the internet thinks what you're doing is stupid or evil or it's all been done before -- make good art.
Running Art Husband
The very condition of having friends is that we should want something else besides friends. where the truthful answer to the question "do you see the same truth?" would be "i see nothing and i don't care about the truth; i only want a friend," no friendship can arise - though affection of course may. there would be nothing for the friendship to be about; and friendship must be about something, even if it were only an enthusiasm for dominoes or white mice. those who have nothing can share nothing; those who are going nowhere can have no fellow-travellers.
