This was taken at Belchertown State School. The state school was, in fact, not a school, but home to "mentally defective" citizens of Massachusetts. This eerie place is full of shocking history: barbaric abuse, misunderstandings, and mental scarring. I found this quote written on one of the dorms, and I thought it was perfectly fitting.

I like it...it has that certain something. Everyone has so many different conceptions of art, that no one is sure exactly how to define it. Well, if a piece of art evokes an emotion whether positive, negative, happy or sad, it's art. This quote you've photographed says it all~

It's truthful, and it made my day.
