"You are being suffocated by tradition," said Otto. "Why don't you say, 'I am going to build a life for myself, for my time, and make it a work of art'? Your life isn't a work of art - it's a thirdhand Victorian whatnot shelf, complete with someone else's collection of seashells and hand-carved elephants." -Kurt Vonnegut from Bagombo Snuff Box
