Saul LeiterI have a deep-seated distrust and even contempt for people who are driven by ambition to conquer the world โฆ those who cannot control themselves and produce vast amounts of crap that no one cares about. I find it unattractive. I like the Zen artists: theyโd do some work, and then theyโd stop for a while.
