 "More to the point, the habit of fairness saps obsession's irrational energy. In order to generate my own work, the last thing I need is to be fair."
From The Long Run: A Creative Inquiry, Stacey D'Erasmo  "...but it also seems to me that some sort of intense velocity is required to hurl a person out of the orbit of conventional life and into the weirdness of art as vocation. Maybe you walk away of your own accord, or maybe you tumble onto the road; either way, you find yourself outside of town."
From The Long Run: A Creative Inquiry, Stacey D'Erasmo  "A vibrant long run might be sustained not by armoring oneself inside an even bigger and more expensive fixed narrative, but by morphing through a varied series of them over many years. Against the monument, the mobile. Against the hammer, the leap."
From The Long Run: A Creative Inquiry, Stacey D'Erasmo  "So didn't I know already how repetition and patterning create meaning?"
From The Long Run: A Creative Inquiry, Stacey D'Erasmo  "Is there anything more personal, more vulnerable, at the end of the day, than the artist's work?"
