I don\u2019t mean a true confession in the sense of that dreary magazine. The effort it seems to me, is: if you can examine and face your life, you can discover the terms with which you are connected to other lives, and they can discover them, too \u2014 the terms with which they are connected to other people. This has happened to every one of us, I\u2019m sure. You read something which you thought only happened to you, and you discovered it happened 100 years ago to Dostoyevsky. This is a very great liberation for the suffering, struggling person, who always thinks that they are alone. This is why art is important. Art would not be important if life were not important, and life is important. Most of us, no matter what we say, are walking in the dark, whistling in the dark. Nobody knows what is going to happen to them from one moment to the next, or how one will bear it. This is irreducible. And it\u2019s true for everybody. Now, it is true that the nature of society is to create, among its citizens, an illusion of safety; but it is also absolutely true that the safety is always necessarily an illusion. Artists are here to disturb the peace. They have to disturb the peace. Otherwise, chaos.\u201d<\/div>\n<div class=\"post_body\">\u2014\u00a0James Baldwin in an interview in 1961 (via\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/dorkdweeb.tumblr.com\/\">dorkdweeb<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>gregorychatman: \u201cArt has to be a kind of confession.
