“ One of my most favorite quotes pertaining to art, and loneliness, is by the writer James Baldwin. In a 1961interview with Studs Terkel, Baldwin said, “You read something which you thought only happened to you, and you discover that it happened 100 years ago to Dostoyevsky. This is a very great liberation for the suffering, struggling person, who always thinks that [they are] alone. This is why art is important.” Art for the art of loneliness
