July 15

“What I wanted to do seemed simple. I wanted to create something live and shocking enough that it could stand beside a morning in somebody’s life. The most ordinary morning. Imagine, trying to do that. What foolishness.”

-Richard Brown (from The Hours by Michael Cunningham)

I have no words to describe what I feel about this passage. Fortunately, I can borrow Jonathan Safran Foer’s voice:

“There’s no greater feeling than inspiring someone. That might even be the point of art.”

from The Unabridged Pocketbook of Lightning
