‘A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers.’ –Robert Quillen
When you say “I’m not going to participate in your art because I think it’s obscene” on the one hand you’re slapping someone in the face — what you think of as beautiful, I think should not be seen but, to be honest, on the other hand you’re often validating them. If people in the main-stream hadn’t freaked out about Robert Maplethorpe you’d probably have no idea who he was, unless you were prone to reading the fine print on the backs of Patti Smith albums.
