For the serious artist does not satisfy needs

Summary

This quote suggests that a serious artist is not driven by the desire to fulfill personal wants or needs. Instead, their motivation comes from a deeper place within themselves, where they are driven by a genuine passion and commitment to their craft. The serious artist seeks fulfillment through expressing their creativity and pushing the boundaries of their abilities, rather than seeking external validation or material gains. Their purpose lies in creating art that holds meaning and significance, prioritizing the authenticity and impact of their work over personal satisfaction or gratification.

Nay, but Jack, such eyes! such eyes! so innocently wild! so bashfully irresolute! Not a glance but speaks and kindles some thought of love! Then, Jack, her cheeks! her cheeks, Jack! so deeply blushing at the insinuations of her tell-tale eyes! Then, Jack, her lips! O, Jack, lips smiling at their own discretion! and, if not smiling, more sweetly pouting -- more lovely in sullenness! Then, Jack, her neck! O, Jack, Jack!
