"The most wonderful thing children discover is that something is interesting to somebody else. They then appropriate this interest for their own. Two people attentive to a detail of the world make a society, and the object they find significant has crossed over from meaninglessness to symbol. Art is always the replacing of indifference by attention."
--Guy Davenport, New York Times Book Review, 4/4/82
