"If it's real, it can take the pressure. You don't have to pussyfoot around the real thing. If they're telling you you must lower your voice and avert your gaze, then you're probably in the presence of crap."

The arts put man at the center of the universe, whether he belongs there or not. Military science, on the other hand, treats man as garbage— and his children, and his cities, too. Military science is probably right about the contemptibility of man in the vastness of the universe. Still— I deny that contemptibility, and I beg you to deny it, through the creation and appreciation of art.
