We're alive so we can see (bear witness to) the universe in our own unique way and when a person dies, the unique way of seeing that universe and even the universe itself that only existed through that person's eyes dies with them. -Sukegawa, Sweet Bean Paste (paraphrased)

"Tyrants know there is in the work of art an emancipatory force, which is mysterious only to those who do not revere it. Every great work makes the human face more admirable and richer, and this is its whole secret. And thousands of concentration camps and barred cells are not enough to hide this staggering testimony of dignity." -Camus, Resistance, Rebellion, Death

One of the functions of art is to give people the words to know their own experience. There are always areas of vast silence in any culture, and part of an artist’s job is to go into those areas and come back from the silence with something to say. It’s one reason why we read poetry, because poets can give us the words we need. When we read good poetry, we often say, ‘Yeah, that’s it. That’s how I feel.’ -Le Guin, Talking on the Water
