“We’re a soulless society. When I’m talking about the soul to people, they look at me like I’m nuts. But there has been a longtime manipulation of people who want to make money to dumb down the American society and rob us of the curiosity of our souls.”
— Larry Salander, from James Panero's fascinating New York feature on the art gallerist's fall, "An Old Master in Ruins." (Link contains four-letter words.)
