As an artist, if your work doesn't inflame at least part of the audience, then you might as well call it quits and sell insurance... The world needs more boundary pushers, not more boundary creators.

About This Quote

The world needs more boundary pushers, not more boundary creators. I think it's very explicit that the world is filled with people who are too weak to take their own boundaries and push them. The result is the world of unhealthy boundaries, where everyone has an idea of what is right and wrong, where they seek their own safety, and where they hide behind walls to protect themselves from exposure.
