Quote of the day
“There’s no conspiracy. There’s just a suspicion of, of anyone who thinks they have a right to make their mark on their own city! The idea that it’s better to have bare concrete on underpasses than a painting that hasn’t been ‘authorized.’ That’s very real. It’s just not organized, not the way we pretended. The reality is sadder, less exciting. Human nature, to prefer a blank wall to anything that might make someone feel something.”
