It is the artist's business to create sunshine when the sun fails.

I wanted to create a business model and a case study that not only would yield an awesome movie that people would love, and something high-minded, but that would also confront things like media consolidation, [i.e.] when you have six companies controlling everything you’re seeing. To the artist, what’s important is they do not get tied up in the system. There needs to be an opportunity to not do that. To comment in a way that doesn't feed that beast. Let’s get organized and create that opportunity.

T. S. Eliot said it is no business of the artist to think. I presume he meant it's only the business of the artist to feel, but I like the notion of there being a mind behind the fiction that I read and that I write.
John Banville
So our people not only have to be re-educated to the importance of supporting black business, but the black man himself has to be made aware of the importance of going into business. And once you and I go into business, we own and operate at least the businesses in our community. What we will be doing is developing a situation wherein we will actually be able to create employment for the people in the community. And once you can create some employment in the community where you live it will eliminate the necessity of you and me having to act ignorantly and disgracefully, boycotting and picketing some place else trying to beg him for a job. Anytime you have to rely upon your enemy for a job you’re in bad shape.
Malcolm (Malcolm Little) X
I must Create a System, or be enslav'd by another Man's;
I will not Reason and Compare: my business is to Create.William Blake
The artist must create a spark before he can make a fire and before art is born, the artist must be ready to be consumed by the fire of his own creation.
