“So long as one can live and pursue his natural vocation in art, it is a duty with him never to abandon it if he believes that he has within him the elements of final success. Every time he labors at aught that is not art, he robs the divinity of what belongs to her.”
Lafcadio Hearn
“Look for your own. Do not do what someone else could do as well as you. Do not say, do not write what someone else could say, could write as well as you.

André Gide

“And what he greatly thought, he nobly dared.”
