"In reality, artists are no more courageous or noble or single-minded than the farmers who go to extreme lengths, in extreme weather, to protect their herd. Or a restaurateur whoâhaving waved goodbye to her last customer at midnightâhauls herself out of bed at 4 A.M. the following morning to make sure sheâs at the market in time to buy the best produce. Or, for that matter, a master bricklayer who has calloused fingers and an aching back from days spent building a house."
