The Greatest Crimes

“The greatest crimes in the world are not done by people breaking the rules but by people following the rules.”
- Bansky from Wall and Peace as seen on “The Word This Week.” on Book Television.

Artists Live in the Present

“As far as McLuhan’s concerned, artists are what his pen pal Ezra Pound calls “the antennae of the race.” Or, as his old friend from his Windsor days, Wyndham Lewis, avers, the artist is the only individual “engaged in writing a detailed history of the future” because the artist “is the only person who lives in the present.” Only the artist is capable of accurately sizing up the present, of see(r)ing it. That’s part of what makes an artist, is it not?”
- Fitzgerald, Judith. Marshall McLuhan: Wise Guy. XYZ Publishing: Montreal, 2001. pg 111
