"We're so often told that art can't really change anything. But I think it can. It shapes our ethical landscapes; it opens us to the interior lives of others. It is a training ground for possibility. It makes plain inequalities, and it offers others ways of living. Don't you want it, to be impregnate with all that light? And what will happen if you are?"
–– Olivia Laing (b. 1977), British author and critic
