Summary

This quote suggests that there is a distinction between achieving fame through one's own efforts and talent, versus having fame imposed upon oneself without personal choice. It implies that the experience and perspective of these two types of fame differ significantly. "The fame you earn" refers to the recognition that comes with a deliberate pursuit of one's passion or skill, which may bring fulfillment and satisfaction. On the other hand, "the fame that is forced upon you" implies a situation where someone becomes famous unwillingly or is thrust into the spotlight without actively seeking it, potentially leading to a less fulfilling or enjoyable experience.

Shut your eyes, wait, think of nothing. Now, open them ...

Shut your eyes, wait, think of nothing. Now, open them ... one sees nothing but a great coloured undulation. What then? An irradiation and glory of colour. This is what a picture should give us ... an abyss in which the eye is lost, a secret germination, a coloured state of grace ... loose conciousness. Descend with the painter into the dim tangled roots of things, and rise again from them in colours, be steeped in the light of them.

The day is not far distant when the man who dies leaving behind him millions of available wealth, which was free for him to administer during life, will pass away unwept, unhonored, and unsung, no matter to what uses he leave the dross which he cannot take with him. Of such as these the public verdict will then be: The man who dies thus rich dies disgraced. Such, in my opinion, is the true gospel concerning wealth, obedience to which is destined some day to solve the problem of the rich and the poor.
