“The artist is by nature, one might say by definition, an anarchist. He lives in the freedom of his own imagination, and represents the experimental element of life. If ‘authority’ should intervene and tell him what to think or to feel, the experiment would not be tried, the brain-child would be born dead.”
—Upton Sinclair
