Throughout
history, artists, thinkers, and writers have been the only forces that
could resist tyranny and oppression. They are the creators of what we
call culture, which means the combination of aesthetics and
spirituality. Dictators know this, they are very sensitive to the only
serious threat to their power: free creation and free communication. On
this planet to create means to stand up, to rebel, to resist, it means
to fight back.
