“Mediocre art not only hinders our ability to understand other people, it demands that we interpret our own lives through a laughably narrow range of emotions largely defined and curated by the unmarried, agnostic, pro-choice twentysomethings who now rule our culture.”
Joshua Gibbs, Will Heaven Be Boring?: A Conversation About Beauty and Good Taste

“Any society at war with the past will necessarily produce an endless tidal wave of cultural artifacts that are short-lived, for the longer any film or book or song lasts, the more adverse it is to progress.”
Joshua Gibbs, Love What Lasts: How to Save Your Soul from Mediocrity
