If we, citizens, do not support our artists, then we sacrifice our imagination on the altar of crude reality and we end up believing in nothing and having worthless dreams.
From the introduction to the book Life of Pi, by Yann Martel, 2001

There's a million ways to get things done,
There's a million ways to make things work out.
From the song What a Day That Was, by David Byrne, 1990
