Re a recent query about the importance of art. The following concerns
writing, but it serves for anything creative.
"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: last line of Author's Note, p. xii, of the book
_The Life of Pi_ by Yann Martel (N.Y., Harcourt, 2001)
