Quote by Laura Marling

The romanticised life, where all the great poetry and music and art of the world comes from, is great but it requires a lot of self-indulgence.

The romanticised life, where all the great poetry and music

Summary

This quote suggests that the "romanticised life" portrayed in great poetry, music, and art is appealing, but it necessitates a significant degree of self-indulgence. It implies that the creation of extraordinary artistic works often stems from a mindset that focuses on personal desires and gratification. While this perspective may generate inspiring and beautiful creations, it acknowledges the trade-off between indulging oneself and producing exceptional artistic expressions.
