An artist who wishes to keep his work to himself, is not being fair with that which he received from the present moment, nor with the inheritance and teachings of his forefathers. If we leave the grain stored in the granary it will go bad, even though it was harvested at the right time. When the harvest is over the time comes to share, without fear or shame, your own soul. That is the artist's mission, however painful or glorious.
-Paulo Coelho, Warrior of the Light, Volume III
Prodigal, you have given me love - therefore I to you give love! O unspeakable passionate love. - W.Whitman
Have you outstript the rest? are you the President? - W.Whitman
