“Could anything be more inimical to art than a fear of emotion, or a fear of "excessive" emotion, or a reluctance to express emotion around others?”

Caitlín R. Kiernan (1964) writer

"Would you like to see a little of it?" said the Mock Turtle. (3 April 2010)

Art can even best the weights of utter fucking ignorance and totalitarian repression, but it cannot survive emotional constipation.
