A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

To give the public what they do not want, and yet expect to be supported: we have there a strange pretension, and yet not uncommon, above all with painters. The first duty in this world is for a man to pay his way; when that is quite accomplished, he may plunge into what eccentricity he likes; but emphatically not till then.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1888-09), “A Letter to a Young Gentleman Who Proposes to Embrace the Career of Art,” Scribner’s Magazine, Vol. 4, No. 3

"Every year around this time, I experience a vague sense of unease. The source or even the nature of this feeling has been elusive. I now have a hunch about what it is and where it comes from. It is a response to coordinated efforts to manipulate me into buying more crap I don’t need."
