Quote of the day

"Never has it been so difficult to make money by any form of art: never has the artist had such a bad chance: and never has the world been so coldly indifferent, never has it clutched its shillings more tightly ... nobody is going to waste one serious moment on art at all ... there are days coming when art will not save us: neither you nor me nor anybody."

D H Lawrence writing to publisher's assistant Nancy Henry in January 1919.
