"There are two working languages in human life. One is sort of top of the mind, what we're conscious of. The other is the unconscious stuff that we might not know about or have access to. The way we access it is usually through this thing we call 'the arts.' Unfortunately, that has gotten removed from the daily experience of human life. What I'm trying to do is to show that there is a way that they can come together, and that you can make things in a way that makes you actually feel alive and present. That's what I'm after: feeling alive in the world."
–– Lynda Barry (b. 1956), American cartoonist, author, educator
