"surely all art is the result of one's having been in danger,
of having gone through an experience all the way to the end,
where no one can go any further. the further one goes, the more
private, the more personal, the more singular an experience
becomes, and the thing one is making is finally, the necessary,
irrepressible, and, as nearly as possible, definitive utterance
of this singularity."
