“6. An artist’s relation to suicide:
– Suicide is a crime against life
– An artist should not commit suicide
– An artist should not commit suicide
– An artist should not commit suicide “
(Marina Abramovic, ‘An Artist’s Life Manifesto’)
Let’s create, then. Let’s protect ourselves from death by becoming artists.

Most artists, like the kind of people who I consider big artists (writers and poets), usually have tortured souls.. But creating can help sometimes. When I draw or I write I feel better for 5 mins.
Marina Abramovic was just one of many. Her opinion doesn’t account for every artist that lived and died.
