Thanks.
Good advice for artists, even those who aren't solitaries (she was more of a solitary than me, which at this point in my life is saying something)...
“Wanting to be known for your accomplishments isn't useful for solitaries. Consider the value of most of the opinions that have to be courted. If you met your own standards at all, you're already in the stratosphere. Most people let others set their standards and end up nowhere. But any road followed to its end leads nowhere, because then you have to find another road. Or not bother.”
She was incisive with stuff like this. She had a deeply sentimental side, but in her prime she had the finest analytical mind I've ever encountered. It's quite humbling to be so close to somebody who's twice as smart as you.
Thank you in advance to anyone else who offers condolences.
