Re: RAT Words



"We are born in terror and trembling. In the face of our terror before the 
uncontrollable chaos of the universe, we label as much as we can with 
language in the hopes that once we name something, we no longer fear it. This 
labeling enables us to feel safer but kills the mystery in what has been 
labeled, removing the life and danger out of what's been defined. The 
artist's responsibility is to bring the potential, the mystery and terror, 
the trembling, back." -- Anne Bogart
