The Artist Is Called A

Individual Experiences Being Limited And Individual Spontaneity Feeble, We Are Strengthened And Enriched By Assimilating The Experience Of Others.

Originality Is Independence, Not Rebellion; It Is Sincerity, Not Antagonism.

A Man May Be Variously Accomplished, And Yet Be A Feeble Poet.

A Man May Be Buoyed Up By The Efflation Of His Wild Desires To Brave Any Imaginable Peril; But He Cannot Calmly See One He Loves Braving The Same Peril; Simply Because He Cannot Feel Within Turn That Which Prompts Another. He Sees The Danger, And Feels Not The Power That Is To Overcome It.
