"Artists have always been the dreamers who turn unseen ideas into sights and songs. Whether we follow beautiful dreams or nightmares is up to us. Ugliness and cruelty and tragedy are part of life to be sure, but in art, it is life-affirming values that we need to see—to experience—in order to bring those visions of values into existence in the real world. The future is possible because the legacy lives. Those of us who choose it are that legacy."

Alexandra York, 'From The Fountainhead to the Future'
