"In the end, what perpetuates carelessness most might be sheer ubiquity. Craft inspires. A writer can be stirred to the page by hearing a song or watching a car being repaired, a carpenter revved up by a poem or a motorbike. But the opposite also holds true; when you're surrounded by the cheaply done, the half-as sed and the ugly, when failure is unpunished and dedication unrewarded all around, it's hard not to think that close enough is good enough. Chabuduo."
