Why shouldn't we have dreams? I, for one, prefer to believe that I was not
put on this earth to feed my face. That's a necessary step towards finding
out and doing what I was put on this earth for, but it's not why I was put
on this earth. I don't think that anything is worth the money if you don't
believe what you're doing is about making a difference.
So what if I am young and idealistic? Maybe it's good to believe museums
can change the world. That way at least I have faith that they do
something.
