Share on LinkedIn Share on Whatsapp Share on Telegram Ben Marcus Quote - The common, the quotidian, is so much more unyielding to me, really stubborn and hard to work with, and I like this because it makes me think and it makes me worry. I can’t just plunge my hand into the meat of it. I need new approaches.
