Because making a character “alive” means getting to the bottom of his existential problem. Which in turn means getting to the bottom of some situations, some motifs, even some words that shape him. Nothing more.
— Milan Kundera, Art of the Novel
Or, to put it a little crudely, how will your private pleasures connect with your public responsibilities?
— Kirk Varnedoe, curator at the Museum of Modern Art, from a commencement speech at Stanford, 1992

* “International”: Since this is the legalese page, I can in fact confirm that we consistently ship beer to Western Canada (which does not count as part of the United States). We also sent two shipments to London but that kinda fell apart so I’m calling us “International” for now, and we’ll work on more exports to justify the bombast. I just think it sounds too cool to pass over.
