The downfall of the industry seems to actually be good for art. I think the industry will find their way once the focus shifts from its greed-based origins, downsizes, and begins to support creative visions that speak to our times and shifting ideals. – Saul Williams
More people than ever are slowly but surely turning their ears toward poetry. – Saul Williams

Chesterton, “The Ethics of Elfland,” Orthodoxy
