«I had long worried that I was incapable of having a profound experience of art and I had trouble believing that anyone had, at least anyone I knew. I was intensely suspicious of people who claimed a poem or painting or piece of music «changed their life,» especially since I had often known these people before and after their experience and could register no change.»
– Ben Lerner, Leaving the Atocha Station.
