"[...] I'm afraid you'll have to take up art. Art is the only work open to people who can't get along with others and still want to be special."
"I could never be an artist. I've nothing to tell people."
[...] "An artist doesn't tell people things, he expresses himself. If the self is unusual his works shocks or excites people. Anyway it forces his personality on them. [...]"
Alasdair Gray - Lanark
