Quote by Heywood Broun, "New York World",

In a certain sense every creative person is a reformer, but this does not mean that he must be in his work a propagandist for good roads, shorter hours, and a low tariff. All these are excellent things, but they need not be the concern of the artist.

Summary

This quote suggests that while every creative individual has the potential to bring about change and reform, it does not obligate them to become advocates for specific social or political causes through their work. While improvements like good roads, shorter working hours, or fair trade policies are important, they don't necessarily have to be the primary focus of an artist's creations. The quote highlights the idea that creativity can be diverse and that artists have the freedom to set their own priorities and explore various themes and subjects in their work.
