Sarah Thornton
“Although the art world is frequently characterised as a classless scene where artists from lower-msddle-class backgrounds drink champagne with high-priced hedge-fund managers, scholarly curators, fashion designers and other "creatives," you'd be mistaken if you thought the world was egalitarian or democratic. Art is about experimenting with ideas, but it is also about excellence and exclusion. In a society where everyone is looking for a little distinction, it's an intoxicating combination.”
Sarah Thornton, Seven Days in the Art World

Carrie Fisher
“And not that it matters, but my mother is not a lesbian! She's just a really, really bad heterosexual.”
Carrie Fisher, Wishful Drinking

“Regrets ignore chronology. They float around.”
Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

Carrie Fisher
“I not only feel better about myself because these people are also fucked up (and I guess this gives us a sense of community), but I feel better because look how much these fellow fuckups managed to accomplish!”
Carrie Fisher, Wishful Drinking

Sarah Thornton
“The contemporary art world is what Tom Wolfe would call a "statusphere." It's structured around nebulous and often contradictory hierarchies of fame, credibility, imagined historical importance, institutional affliction, perceived intelligence, wealth, and attribution such as the size of one's art collection.”
Sarah Thornton, Seven Days in the Art World
