David Grossman Quotes
The primary urge that motivates and engenders writing...is the writer's desire to invent and tell a story, and to know himself. But the more I write, the more I feel the force of the other urge, which collaborates with and completes the first one: the desire to know the Other from within him. To feel what it means to be another person. To be able to touch, if only for a moment, the blaze that burns within another human being.

As a viewer, that's work I respond to - work that I know is singular in some way.

If the architecture is sound, you can be lyrical in execution.
