Interesting quote ganked from Jonathan Carroll:
"An artist is one who knows how life should be lived at its best and is always aware of how badly he is doing it. An artist is one who knows he is failing in living and feeds his remorse by making something fair, and a layman is one who suspects he is failing in living but is consoled by his successes in golf, or in love, or in business."
- Thorton Wilder
I'm not sure I agree with it, in fact I suspect it's an unreasonable dichotomy on its face, but I do love pondering these things
