The childlike, honest writings and collages of Lynda Barry, paired with words by Robert Rauschenberg.
It was by reading Lynda Barry's many books that I learned that it's possible to have your heart both broken and healed at the same time. I highly recommend at least one of the following: What It Is, or if you want shorter, more direct instruction on what she wants us to try, have a go at Syllabus.
Although I'm using a quote from Robert Rauschenberg, I should mention that he was much better known for his art. I stumbled across three of his works at the Vancouver Art Gallery that moved me immensely, but then I didn't respond to the rest of his work in the same way. Which only goes to show, that sometimes one piece by one artist is all you need to get fired up.
