Good art originates not from the desire to show off but from the desire to show yourself. Good art always comes from our desperate desire to breathe, to be seen, to be loved. In everyday life, we are used to seeing only the shiny outer layer of folks. Art makes us less lonely because it always comes from the desperate center of the artist -- and each of our centers is desperate. That's why good art is such a relief.
-- Glennon Doyle, Untamed, p. 253
