It's One Thing To Lie To Ourselves.

The Best And Only Thing That One Artist Can Do For Another Is To Serve As An Example And An Inspiration.

That’s Why An Artist Must Be A Warrior And, Like All Warriors, Artists Over Time Acquire Modesty And Humility. They May, Some Of Them, Conduct Themselves Flamboyantly In Public. But Alone With The Work They Are Chaste And Humble. They Know They Are Not The Source Of The Creations They Bring Into Being. They Only Facilitate. They Carry. They Are The Willing And Skilled Instruments Of The Gods And Goddesses They Serve.

To Feel Ambition And To Act Upon It Is To Embrace The Unique Calling Of Our Souls.

We Come Into This World With A Specific, Personal Destiny. We Have A Job To Do, A Calling To Enact, A Self To Become. We Are Who We Are From The Cradle, And We're Stuck With It.

Our Greatest Battle Is To Become Ourselves, In The Face Of Adversity.
