“A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament. Its beauty comes from the fact that the author is what he is. It has nothing to do with the fact that other people want what they want.”
“They are always asking a writer why he does not write like somebody else, or a painter why he does not paint like somebody else, quite oblivious of the fact that if either of them did anything of the kind he would cease to be an artist.”
“The true artist is a man who believes absolutely in himself, because he is absolutely himself.”
–The Soul of Man Under Socialism (Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wild)
