The wealthy can always be induced to support another museum; the
academies can always be counted upon to provide us with watch-dogs
and hyenas; the critics can always be bought who will kill what is
fresh and vital; the educators can always be rallied who will
misinform the young as to the meaning of art; the vandals can always
be instigated to destroy what is powerful and disturbing.
-- Henry Miller. The Air-Conditioned Nightmare (1945)
