Falling in love with art empowers its creation. There is far too much subtraction surrounding us. Snark and derision have consumed discourse; contempt is bred from the entitlement borne of access. Mockery and mehmenship are tolerated, somehow, and treated as being more valid than the purported abomination at which they are aimed. I am tired, I am exhausted, I am repelled, by the subtractive. It is cheap and it is easy and it is so very far beneath what we are capable of creating. Do not be cheap. Do not be easy. You diminish yourself; you diminish us all.
Matt Fraction, in the backmatter of CASANOVA #1 from Icon.
