Random quote of the day:

“I feel like what we need art for is a little bit of solace, a little bit of company in trying to deal with the darker stuff. And at the same time, I would never write a pessimistic book. I think writing is, by definition, an optimistic act.”

—Michael Cunningham, interview, PBS Newshour, April 19, 1999
