Every artist who has been worth anything in art has been such a propagandist. . . . Every strong artist has been a propagandist. I want to be a propagandist and I want to be nothing else. . . . I want to use my art as a weapon.

Do you have another test of loyalty for me up your sleeve? Maybe the next time, I’ll actually fail. A prospect that seems appealing!” I pushed away Valek’s supporting arm. “When you warned me that you would test me from time to time, I thought you meant spiking my food.
